Mocs Open Basketball Practice Friday

  • Thursday, October 11, 2012

College basketball season preparation begins in earnest this Friday as the UTC Mocs open at 5 p.m. in the Chattem Basketball Practice Facility.

“We can’t wait to get started,” said head coach John Shulman, who is entering his ninth year on the bench. “This team is very young, but very talented. We have veterans up front and a lot of young guards. We are getting back to Chattanooga basketball…rebounding and defending that ball.”

UTC has 28 championships in 35 seasons in the Southern Conference, by far the most in the league over that time period. That includes 10 SoCon Tournament titles, 10 regular-season crown and eight division with division play starting with the 1994-95 season.

Chattanooga’s season opener is Monday, Nov. 12, against Tennessee Temple in McKenzie Arena at 7 p.m. After a trip to Kansas on Thursday, Nov. 15, the Mocs return home to host the CBE Classic Chattanooga Sub-Regional with a four-team round-robin format Oct. 18-20. Louisiana Tech, Southeast Missouri and Troy join UTC in McKenzie Arena for six games in three days.

Season tickets for a school-record 18-game home slate are available. Call 266-MOCS (6627), go online here at GoMocs.com or stop by the Gate One McKenzie Arena Ticket Office.
