CHATTANOOGA (November 21, 2024) – The Chattanooga Mocs men’s basketball team posted its third-straight victory after notching a 72-52 decision over NAIA member and Knoxville-based Johnson University (TN) on Thursday night inside McKenzie Arena.
Chattanooga (3-3) led by just two at the halftime break, 32-30, before outscoring Johnson (5-1; game was marked as an EXH) by a wide 40-22 margin over the final 20 minutes of play. The Mocs forced the Royals to turn the ball over 10 times in the final half and limited the squad to just a 25.0% (2-of-8) mark from three during the span.
Sean Cusano led all UTC scorers, tied a game-high and set a new career mark with 16 points while also securing his first collegiate double-double behind a career-best 10 rebounds. Trey Bonham (14) was the lone Moc, other than Cusano, to reach double figures during the victory.
