5-at-10: Mocs claim title, Vonn Bell and Combine wrap, Super Tuesday primer and possible postseason preference

UTC forward Chuck Ester shoots over Samford forward Iman Johnson during Saturday's game at McKenzie Arena. The Mocs won 77-66 to claim at least a share of the SoCon regular-season championship, but they can claim that title outright with a win tonight at VMI.

UTC hoops

Matt McCall and the Mocs delivered at VMI on Monday.

It was not always pretty and it was far from easy, but it was most effective.

UTC won the Southern Conference regular-season title with a 67-65 road win.

It pushed the Mocs to 15-3 overall in the conference (26-5 overall), and gives them the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament. UTC will play Friday against the winner of Samford-VMI.
