CHATTANOOGA WINS THIRD-STRAIGHT GAME
- Chattanooga (3-3) picked up its third-straight victory following a 72-52 decision over NAIA-member Johnson University (TN) on Thursday night inside McKenzie Arena. The Mocs were the last remaining team in the Southern Conference to not have faced off against a non-DI opponent before Thursday night's contest against the Royals.
 
CUSANO'S CAREER NIGHT LEADS MOCS
- Chattanooga saw sophomore Sean Cusano record career highs in points (16) and rebounds (10) during Thursday night's win over Johnson (TN). The 16/10 effort also marked Cusano's first double-double. He currently leads the team in FG% (60.0) & 3PT% (50.0).
 
CLOSING IN ON 1,200 CAREER POINTS
- Chattanooga's Trey Bonham is closing in on 1,200 career points between three different DI stops in VMI, Florida and UTC. Bonham enters Monday's contest against Tennessee State with 1,181 career tallies, sitting just 19 shy of the benchmark. Bonham is off to a bit of a slow start in 2024-25, averaging 10.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
 
SHOOTING EFFICIENCY LACKING IN EARLY WEEKS
- It's been a struggle to find the bottom of the net for the Mocs in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign. UTC currently ranks last (10th) in the Southern Conference in FG% (41.7) and 3PT% (26.1), while both marks rank 291st and 338th, respectively, across all of NCAA DI. However, the team has been efficient at the free-throw line this season, ranking second in the SoCon and 68th nationally at 75.5%.
 
GOING STREAKING
- Despite a low 3PT% to begin the season, the Mocs have now made 5+ 3PT FG in 74-straight games, every game under Dan Earl. The such streak is the second-longest active streak (Oral Roberts, 130) in Division I and 17th longest all-time.

SAAC COLLECTION DRIVE
- The UTC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is holding a donation drive to benefit and aid the homeless around the Chattanooga area with collection bins available at McKenzie Arena on Monday. The group is collecting clothing, nonperishable food, and toiletries to benefit the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga.
