CHARLESTON, S.C. – The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s basketball team has spent most of the season as more of a hunter.
Starting today, that role will shift to being more like the hunted.
The Southern Conference’s preseason pick to win it all gets into league play this afternoon with a 1 p.m. game against The Citadel at McAlister Fieldhouse. The Bulldogs (7-6) are led by former Virginia Military Institute coach Duggar Baucom, whose Keydets were typically among the highest-scoring teams in the country.
That hasn’t changed in his first season with The Citadel. The Bulldogs lead the nation by averaging 93.1 points per game, including a 132-point performance.
They also average 82.5 possessions per game, so the Mocs will have to deal with a lot of pressure throughout.
