UTC Mocs logoThe Mocs will begin their 2012-13 season against a college basketball behemoth.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga released its men’s basketball schedule for the 2012-13 season on Wednesday.
Following a Blue-Gold scrimmage on Nov. 6 and a game against Tennessee Temple on Nov. 12, the Mocs will open their season in one of the most historical basketball cauldrons in the country – Phog Allen Fieldhouse.
UTC will play at Kansas, the NCAA Tournament runner-up, on Nov. 15 as part of the CBE Classic which will give UTC home games against Southeast Missouri, Troy and Louisiana Tech.
“The commissioner said we all needed more home non-conference D-1 games, and to do that, you’re going to have to be a little creative,” UTC coach John Shulman said. “We have seven non-conference D-1 games and 18 total home games. Coach [Brent] Jolly gets a lot of credit for thinking outside of the box to get this schedule.”
