The Chattanooga Mocs men’s basketball contest at VMI scheduled for Jan. 23 is postponed because of a state of emergency in Virginia due to the current winter storm. Heavy snowfall made the roads dangerous for travel between Greensboro, N.C., where the Mocs captured a 73-60 win over UNCG last night, and Lexington, Va.
While other Southern Conference contests affected by the storm are able to move to Sunday, VMI’s Monday game against Furman made that an impossibility. There is no current date for the makeup as the two teams and league office attempt to find a workable spot in each team’s schedule.
The Mocs are 17-3 overall, 6-1 leading the SoCon. The 17-3 record is the best since the 1982-83 squad opened 26-3.
In other college games, Saturday's Bryan College men's and women's basketball games against fellow Appalachian Athletic Conference opponent Truett-McConnell (Ga.) are being pushed back to later in the day due to inclement weather conditions. Instead of the original 2pm and 4pm start times, the AAC matchups are planned for 5pm and 7pm tomorrow evening.
Dependent on the weather, a final decision will be made at 9am tomorrow morning.
The 28th ranked Lady Lions are 16-3 overall and 8-2 in conference play, while the Bryan men have a 10-8 overall record and are 5-4 in the AAC.
