UTC Mocs unable to escape first-half hole at Radford

Will Wade

RADFORD, Va. – Will Wade couldn’t remain undefeated forever.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga first-year basketball coach had his career record leveled at 1-1 with the Mocs’ 89-78 loss Monday night at Radford University.

“It was bound to happen sometime,” said Wade, who opened his career last Friday with a whipping of Covenant College.

With an increase in the level of the competition and a change in location from McKenzie Arena came a different result. But the Mocs maintained continuous effort and trimmed a 25-point deficit to nine points in the final minute.
