Terriers have additional league victories over ETSU (W, 81-78 - 1/4) and Western Carolina (W, 77-69 - 1/8) during league play while their lone loss came to UNCG, 68-66, in the opener back on New Year's Day.

Wofford in SoCon regular season matchups.
THREES A PLENTY ON SUNDAY FUNDAY
-
Chattanooga's historic three-point performance in Sunday's win over VMI etched a couple new entries into the program's record book. After going 19-28 (67.9%) from deep in the win,
UTC notched program records in threes made (19) against a DI opponent in addition to the best 3PT% (67.9%) in SoCon play.
HONOR'S HONORABLE PERFORMANCE
- In Sunday's win over VMI,
Honor Huff led the lethal three-point attack with a career-high tying 31 points on a 9-10 3PT effort. The nine 3FGM ties his own career mark, set last year against ETSU (2/14/24), and ties himself, Stephen McDowell (12/30/08) and Wes Moore (11/15/97) for the
UTC program record for most 3FGM in a single game. Huff is the only
Moc to ever reach the feat twice in a career.
DO-IT-ALL KEESLAR LEADS THE NATION
- Versatile senior
Garrison Keeslar continues to do-it-all for the
Mocs this season while currently leading all of NCAA Division I (350 qualifiers) in assist-to-turnover ratio (5.20). He clears the second-ranked player (CJ Fulton, Coll. of Charleston, 4.45) by a decent margin.
Keeslar's balanced effort this season has seen him average 6.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 48.7% from the floor and totaling 52 assists to just 10 turnovers during 26.1 minutes of average floor time.
HISTORIC THREE-POINTER STREAK
- The Mocs have made 5+ 3PT FG in 85-straight games, every game under
Dan Earl. The such streak is currently the longest active streak in Division I and T11th longest all-time. Oral Roberts previously held the longest active streak in DI before seeing its streak of 140-straight games snapped on 1/11/2025 against North Dakota.
