The margin of error for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s basketball team is very small this season.

Small enough that performances like the one the Mocs gave Thursday night yield predictable results.

Furman ended the first half on a 15-3 run to build a 20-point lead, cruising to a 74-56 win over UTC at Timmons Arena in Greenville, S.C.

The loss dropped the Mocs to 9-19 overall and 3-12 in Southern Conference play. They’ll host Wofford at 5 p.m. Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader at McKenzie Arena. The women’s game between the schools is at 2 p.m.

At Furman, Joshua Phillips led the Mocs with 16 points and 13 rebounds for his second double-double of the season. Makinde London had 13 points, while Rodney Chatman scored 10 in the first half before getting injured with 5:28 remaining before the break. Chatman was going after a loose ball when Jalen Williams dove into his leg.
