A solid first half.

A spectacular second one.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s basketball team made 57 percent of its shots in the final 20 minutes against East Tennessee State, scoring 49 points and pulling away from the Buccaneers for a 94-84 win Saturday in front of 5,003 fans at McKenzie Arena.

The Mocs took a half-game lead over Mercer and ETSU in the Southern Conference and have three away games – beginning Thursday at UNC Greensboro – before playing at home again on Feb. 1 against The Citadel.

Tre’ McLean scored a career-high 29 points for UTC (16-3, 5-1), while Justin Tuoyo added 20. Eric Robertson was 5-for-8 from 3-point range for 15 points as the Mocs shot 54 percent from the field, made 11 of 20 3s and connected on 29 of their 36 free throws.
