Mocs Welcome National TV For SoCon Home Opener Against UNCG

(gomocs.com) After a three-week hiatus, the Chattanooga Mocs men’s basketball team returns to the friendly confines of McKenzie Arena Thursday evening with its Southern Conference home opener against UNCG. Tip-off is set for 5 p.m. ET and will be nationally televised on CBS Sports Network.

Chattanooga (9-6, 1-1 SoCon), who welcomes undefeated UNCG (9-6, 2-0 SoCon), is coming off its first league win of the season after claiming an 81-68 road victory at The Citadel last Saturday. The Mocs ultimately split the opening week of conference play after dropping a tough 99-94 overtime contest in the opener at Mercer last Wednesday.

Chattanooga will quickly rebound with another SoCon matchup on Saturday afternoon by hosting VMI (6-9, 0-2 SoCon) inside the Roundhouse. Tip-off for that contest is set for 2 p.m. on ESPN+, and with inclement weather in the forecast, stay tuned to GoMocs.com and all social channels if changes are necessary.
