UTC’s Gee McGhee (12) drives for the basket during a Troy game at McKenzie ArenaThere are several benefits for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga playing basketball at Louisiana State tonight.
First, UTC’s Gee McGhee, who played at Redemptorist High School in Baton Rouge, will get to play in front of at least 40 friends and family members.
Fellow Mocs freshman Casey Jones said Sunday that his high school squad at Higgins in New Orleans planned to rent a bus for family and friends to come watch him play against the Tigers.
UTC coach John Shulman looked forward to stuffing his belly with food from Tony’s — a Cajun buffet with no seats.
And the UTC program will enjoy a $90,000 check that comes from playing at LSU (5-0) tonight at 8 EST on CSS.
