Greg Pryor had a good night of sleep on Sunday.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga junior point guard and his teammates had found out they were a 12 seed in the NCAA basketball tournament and playing Indiana in the first round at 7:10 EDT Thursday night in Des Moines, Iowa.
This is the first time in seven seasons that the Mocs have won the Southern Conference tournament championship, and ended a skid of five consecutive years of the program losing its first game in the league tournament.
That climb finally felt complete when “Chattanooga” was displayed on the screen as one of the 68 teams selected for the national tournament.
