UTC Women’s Basketball Team Enjoys Send Off For NCAA Tournament

Chattanooga-(WDEF-TV) UTC fans gathered at McKenzie Arena this afternoon.

They gave the women’s basketball team a nice send-off for the NCAA tournament.

Mocs back in the Big Dance for the second straight year.

Team got a police escort out of town.

Hopefully the Mocs pull off some March Madness and upset N-C State in their opener.

Said head coach Shawn Poppie:”Yeah we are going to have to be the best versions of ourselves for sure. Wes and his program have done an unbelievable job. They’re really good. We know that. It’s going to take a lot of discipline. Executing a game plan for 40 minutes. They are going to give us a lot of trouble, but I think we can do the same as long as we are the best version of ourselves.”
Reporter:”Jada Guinn has been awfully good for you this year, does she have to play big in this game for you guys to have a chance?”
Poppie:”Yeah I think that’s not any secret. We need her to be really good. And when I say really good, sometimes that means just being aggressive.”
