If there were any questions about the toughness of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s basketball team, they were answered emphatically Monday.
On the court.
The Mocs set a school record for points scored against an NCAA Division I opponent, scoring 77 points in the second half and blowing out Southern Conference opponent The Citadel 125-85 in front of 2,587 fans at McKenzie Arena.
It was the sixth consecutive victory for the Mocs (19-3, 8-1), who improved to 9-0 at home. They have two more games at McKenzie this week – against Wofford on Thursday and Furman on Saturday.
The 40-point margin of victory was the most against a SoCon opponent in UTC history.
