The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s basketball Mocs have shown they can outscore teams.

This weekend in the Emerald Coast Classic, they showed they can defend as well.

The Mocs claimed the title of the two-day event at Northwest Florida State Community College in Niceville, Fla., defeating Jacksonville State 62-52. UTC improved to 5-1 for the season with a road game Monday against Louisiana-Monroe before returning home.

It’s the last game of a five-game, 10-day road stretch.

Justin Tuoyo scored 14 points to lead four Mocs scoring in double figures. Casey Jones added 11 points and a team-high six rebounds, while Greg Pryor and Eric Robertson had 10 points each.
