A new-look University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s basketball team picked up a win Saturday night, knocking down 10 3-pointers on its way to an 88-72 win over Alabama A&M.
Florida transfer Trey Bonham — who started his college career at Virginia Military Institute with current UTC head coach Dan Earl — played 18 minutes in his first game after a court ruling allowed multi-time transfers to be immediately eligible earlier this week.
Bonham, who was an All-Southern Conference Freshman selection in 2019-20 and has averaged 9.3 points in his career, had 14 points and three assists in his first action coming off the bench.
“It’s crazy. Just two days ago, I thought I wasn’t playing until August of next year,” Bonham said on the postgame radio broadcast. “It felt a little weird; I’ve been preparing like I’m playing anyway, but nothing can really mimic that game feeling.”
The Mocs (7-3) were led by Honor Huff’s 24 points. He battled some first-half foul trouble with three fouls, but knocked down six 3-pointers and also added four assists. Point guard Myles Che had 16 points and a team-high five assists, while Tyler Millin added 13 points and had five rebounds.
