But Wofford knocked out the Mocs early on Wednesday in an 97-58 win for the defending Southern Conference champions.
“I think it was a perfect storm for us to win,” Wofford coach Mike Young said. “Furman came in here and [UTC] had to win and they were terrific. They played with such energy and it was an emotionally taxing night for the Mocs.
“Boy, it’s hard to get back on that cloud 48 hours later.”
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga played one of its worse offensive halves of the season and put its hopes for a Southern Conference North Division championship in serious jeopardy.
