ATLANTA-John Shulman hated to make the call.
But he told his Mocs not to foul Georgia Tech in the final seconds of a 62-53 loss in Alexander Memorial Coliseum.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga put a scare in the ACC school by pulling within two points in the second half. But they never crept closer or took the lead in their final non-conference game of the year.
“We could have played better, but I’m sure they feel the same way,” said Omar Wattad, who led the Mocs with 18 points. “We fell short and it’s disappointing.
“We knew we could play with this type of team. We knew we have the talent. I wanted to close it out and get the win.”
