CHATTANOOGA (Dec. 14, 2023) --- The Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball team is back on the road for a late-night Saturday non-conference match-up at SWAC-member Alabama A&M inside the newly-constructed Events Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on Bulldogs All-Access (free).
 
Despite a 100-mile difference between schools, Chattanooga (6-3) will face Alabama A&M for the first time in the series' all-time history. The Mocs are coming off a convincing 112-51 victory over NAIA-member Tennessee Wesleyan on Sunday inside McKenzie Arena where six different Mocs reached double figures and helped notch the program's most points in a game since scoring 125 against The Citadel in 2016.
 
Alabama A&M (1-9) enters the Saturday night contest looking to snap a four-game skid that included defeats to the SEC's Vanderbilt and ACC's Georgia Tech, in addition to SoCon-foe Samford and traditional mid-major power UAB. The Bulldogs were picked seventh in the SWAC preseason poll while earning one first-place vote. Senior guard/forward Dailin Smith leads the team and ranks 12^th in the SWAC in scoring at 14.5 points-per-game.
