UTC Mocs finding ways to win

photo UTC’s Ricky Taylor drives against Appalachian State at McKenzie Arena Saturday. Taylor led the Mocs with 19 points.

John Shulman confessed on the ESPN Radio show Mike & Mike that he celebrated winning the 2005 Southern Conference championship at Waffle House.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga earned a dramatic 65-63 victory over Appalachian State on Saturday when former walk-on Dontay Hampton scored a layup with less than one tick on the clock.

UTC stole a victory in dramatic fashion.

It’s one that goes down in recent regular-season lore with the “Chris Early to Jeremy Saffore to Keegan Bell for 3” win over The Citadel two seasons ago.

That was the Mocs’ last dramatic buzzer-beater at home until Saturday night.
