CHATTANOOGA (January 17, 2025) --- In the 100th all-time meeting, the Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball team will face Furman in a key Southern Conference showdown on Saturday evening inside the Ben Secours Arena in downtown Greenville, S.C. Tip-off is set for 5 p.m. on ESPN+.
 
Chattanooga (11-7, 3-2) is coming off Wednesday's exciting 83-81 comeback overtime victory over Wofford, a game in which the Mocs erased an early 20-point deficit with a strong second half. Down six with under a minute left in regulation, Bash Wieland forced the extra frame with back-to-back threes before Trey Bonham hit the game-winning leaner with 3.0 seconds left to break the tie.
 
After putting together a strong non-conference effort, Furman (15-3, 3-2) has dropped a pair of games in the early stages of league play with defeats coming to UNCG (L, 67-84) and Wofford (L, 62-81) by an average of 18 points. The Paladins most recently defeated ETSU (W, 73-70) at home on Wednesday.

STORY LINES
CHATTANOOGA EARNS COMEBACK 83-81 OT WIN OVER WOFFORD
- Chattanooga (11-7, 3-2) saw itself crawl out of an early 20-point deficit (31-11, 1st 10:42) with a stingy defensive effort and strong three-point attack to help capture an 83-81 OT win over Wofford inside McKenzie Arena on Wednesday. The Mocs erased a six-point hole with less than a minute left on a pair of Bash Wieland threes to force OT before Trey Bonham hit the eventual game-winner with 3.0 seconds.
 
FURMAN RECENT RESULTS
- Furman (15-3, 3-2 SoCon) enters Saturday's contest on a bit of a roller coaster ride as the squad has split its last four games in opposite fashions. During the stretch, the Paladins suffered large setbacks at UNCG (L, 67-84) on January 4 and at home to Wofford (L, 62-81) on Monday while tossing in close victories at The Citadel (W, 67-63 OT) on January 8 and at home against ETSU (W, 73-70) on Wednesday.
 
SERIES HISTORY
- UTC & Furman will meet for the 100th time in the storied all-time series' history as the game marks the 86th meeting in SoCon regular season action. The Mocs hold a 58-41 (.585) all-time edge over the Paladins in the series. In recent memory, Furman has won six of the last 10 including four of the last five.
 
THREES A PLENTY IN BACK-TO-BACK WINS
- Chattanooga has averaged 17.5 3FGM over the past two games (both wins) following Sunday's program record (vs. DI opp.) 19 triples against VMI and Wednesday's 16 threes against Wofford. UTC has climbed to 25th in NCAA DI this season with a 10.3 3FGM per game average.
 
SOCON HOOPS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART
- Southern Conference action is in full swing and the dramatics have continued. UTC has seen two of its first five league games go into overtime (L, 94-99 at MER / W, 83-81 vs. WOF) and a third result in a buzzer-beating decision (L, 75-78 - vs. UNCG).

HISTORIC THREE-POINTER STREAK
- The Mocs have made 5+ 3PT FG in 86-straight games, every game under Dan Earl. The such streak is currently the longest active streak in Division I and 11th longest all-time.
