The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s basketball team had four players in double figures in a 77-75 win over Radford in front of 2,522 at McKenzie Arena.
The Mocs used a 19-4 first-half run to build an eight-point lead at the break. They never trailed in the second half, although the lead never reached double figures against the pesky Highlanders (7-6).
Johnathan Burroughs-Cook had a team-high 17 points while adding four assists for UTC (10-2). Chuck Ester had 13 points and six rebounds, Greg Pryor finished with 11 points and five assists and Eric Robertson added 11 points.
Justin Tuoyo had six points, but added nine rebounds and four blocks.
Rashun Davis had a game-high 24 points, while Caleb Tanner was 4-for-5 from 3 and had 13 for Radford. Brandon Holcomb added 10 points and nine rebounds.
The Mocs travel to Lipscomb on Dec. 29 for their final non-conference game.
