Ricky Taylor tipped in a shot as the final horn sounded Saturday night.
But his final two points left the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga one short in a 88-87 Southern Conference basketball loss at Elon.
The loss dropped the Mocs to 9-12 overall, 3-5 in the SoCon, and leaves them winless in 10 road games this season.
“You can’t score 87 and lose,” senior Omar Wattad said on the UTC postgame radio show. “It’s tough. They played very well offensively.”
Lucas Troutman led Elon’s players with 21 points. Austin Hamilton added 20 points, Jack Isenbarger scored 19 and Ryley Beaumont had 15. The rest of the Phoenix combined for 13.
