UTC’s Lance Stokes drives past Appalachian State’s Jamaal Trice.John Shulman and Charlton Young both felt a sense of discontent Friday.
Both coaches said their respective Southern Conference basketball teams should have won their games the night before.
Instead, Georgia Southern lost 57-55 at Samford in the final seconds while Shulman and his University of Tennessee at Chattanooga team lost 64-63 to Davidson.
“We should have won the game,” Young said on the bus ride from Birmingham to Chattanooga. “Hats off the Samford. They pulled it out. All the numbers, except 17 turnovers, say we should win the game.”
The two frustrated teams — and the two friends — will face each other for a second time this season tonight at 7:30 in McKenzie Arena.
