UC Irvine vs Chattanooga Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup after completing a comeback in their last game and will be looking to hang a NIT Championship banner with a win here. UC Irvine is the much better defensive team in this contest, while Chattanooga is shooting over 48% from the field and is the better offensive team. We have seen the Mocs overcome slow starts against Loyola and Bradley, and I think they are the better option in this game. I know the Chattanooga defensive numbers aren’t great this season, but they have been fine during this tournament and I really like how their offense is looking. This should be a great game to watch, but I am taking the points with the Mocs.

Chattanooga vs Loyola Chicago Prediction 

Chattanooga has picked up two very impressive wins over Bradley and Dayton in their last two games, so they shouldn’t be intimidated at all against their foes from the A-10. The Mocs are shooting over 48% from the field this year and they are scoring 79.6 points per game. Loyola Chicago was able to handle Kent State rather easily in their last game, but they also had a very nice win over San Francisco prior to that. The Ramblers are only shooting 45.7% from the field, but they play very tight defense and have allowed 64 points or fewer in three of their last five games. This should be a very fun game to watch, but I like the under in this game, as I think Loyola’s defense will really slow things down.

Bradley vs Chattanooga Prediction

It’s going to be the first-ever meeting between these teams. I am backing Chattanooga to cover for several reasons. The Mocs won nine of the previous ten games and have an excellent 21-12 ATS record this year, while they also have a positive 11-5 record on the road. On top of that, Bradley will play without two of its top three scorers, Hannas and Montgomery, who are out with undisclosed injuries. Chattanooga recorded nine consecutive road victories. I won’t be surprised if the Mocs add one more on Tuesday.

These teams have met just once before and it was in 2015 when Chattanooga won 61-59. Dayton is a slight favorite in this one but the Mocs are 20-12 ATS this season and 9-1 SU in the previous ten games, so I have to back Chattanooga in this clash. Chattanooga has covered the Spread in 17 of its last 24 games and I am backing its offense to keep the Flyers on their toes. It’s going to be a close one. but I am leaning toward the Mocs. Back them to cover.

Middle Tennessee vs Chattanooga Prediction

I’m looking at Chattanooga here. I think the Mocs are the better team by a fair margin in this game, and have the clear edge on the offensive end of the floor. The Mocs also do a great job of taking care of the basketball, and Middle Tennessee isn’t a team that forces a lot of turnovers to begin with. I think the only edge that Middle Tennessee has is being at home, and they were below .500 ATS as a home favorite this year, while Chattanooga had 10 wins in road games this season. Give me Chattanooga.

Samford vs Chattanooga Prediction

The Samford Bulldogs are the better team with an elite level offense, and they already beat Chattanooga on the road a couple of weeks ago. However, Chattanooga is a legit contender in the Southern, and It’s just hard to turn down points. The Chattanooga Mocs have the offense to hang with Samford and they have seven road wins. Chattanooga has also covered seven of its last nine games and is 14-9 ATS on the season overall. Chattanooga is a good basketball team that can beat anybody in the conference, and this is a bit of a revenge spot. I’ll grab the points with the Mocs on the road in what should be a fun, competitive game.

Neither Wofford nor Chattanooga has a player listed on its injury report.

Wofford vs Chattanooga Prediction

The Wofford Terriers are a solid team offensively that plays their best ball at home, so they’re going to get some love from oddsmakers. The problem is the Chattanooga Mocs are simply the better team overall, and they’re more efficient on the offensive side. Chattanooga also beat Wofford last month in overtime and has won eight of the last 10 games against the Terriers overall. Chattanooga also has six road wins this season, so this isn’t going to be an intimated team. Chattanooga is top-100 in scoring, offensive field goal percentage, and makes its free throws. I’ll grab the bucket with the Mocs in a game they could win outright.

Why the Chattanooga Mocs will win

• Chattanooga has won eight of its last nine night games at McKenzie Arena following a road win.

Chattanooga vs Samford Prediction

I’m with Chattanooga in this one. I like what Samford’s brought to the table defensively this season, as normally it’s a high-volume and high-octane offense that comes to the table for Bucky Ball. However, Chattanooga’s boasting the most efficient offense in the SoCon right now, and I’m really not interested in stepping in front of the Mocs right now, especially at home with a chance to catch Samford and UNC-Wilmington at the top of the SoCon mountain. I think home court ends up being the true difference here as Chattanooga bags the win and cover.

Chattanooga vs UNC Greensboro Injury Report

Neither Chattanooga nor UNC Greensboro has a player listed on its injury report.

Chattanooga vs UNC Greensboro Prediction

The UNC Greensboro Spartans are good enough defensively to hang in this game, and they have a couple of road wins this season. We’re just not getting enough points to pull the trigger. The Chattanooga Mocs are playing their best ball of the season, and that includes covers in four of their last five games. Chattanooga hung around with Indiana a couple of weeks ago and is coming off an offensive masterclass against The Citadel. Chattanooga is heading in the right direction and has seen six of its nine wins come at home. I’ll lay the reasonable line with the Mocs at home.

• Chattanooga has lost each of its last four road night games against non-conference opponents.

Evansville vs Chattanooga Prediction

I’m with Chattanooga here. I just think that the Mocs are the better team as they were on a 5-game win streak before falling last time out while Evansville has gotten crushed far more often than not this season. I was honestly surprised that Chattanooga didn’t open as a bigger favorite here. Give me the Mocs.

Chattanooga vs Morehead State Prediction

Morehead State is battle-tested but hasn’t been able to play to the level of competition and hasn’t looked good offensively. The Chattanooga Mocs will lick their wounds after three straight tough road games, but now they’re at home and get a winnable matchup. It’s fair to say Chattanooga is the more talented team, and it will have the best players on the floor. The oddsmakers are telling you what they think of Morehead State with this line. I’ll lay the points.

Gaels Looking To Keep Ball Rolling

• Chattanooga has lost five of its last six road games against non-conference opponents.

St. Mary’s vs Chattanooga Prediction

I’m on the under here. I wouldn’t be surprised if Saint Mary’s took it to Chattanooga here with how poor the Mocs looked against USC, and Saint Mary’s runs a tighter defensive ship than the Trojans, but I also don’t love the blowout potential of Saint Mary’s as I don’t think they’re going to have a ton of games where they run away from teams. Instead, I think this game grinds down to a slow pace a la true Saint Mary’s basketball, and I think this one comes in under the number.

Both of these teams come into this game on small winning streaks, but Chattanooga has been the better team so far this season. The Mocs are second in the Southern Conference and they have scored 84, 89, and 88 points in their last three games. Furman is also a very high scoring team, but they are only shooting 44.7% from the field. Furman will have the benefit of playing at home, where they have played very well this season, and I think that will be the difference. Take the Paladins here.

Chattanooga Mocs vs VMI Keydets prediction

I’m not a fan of laying this many points, especially on the road, but I feel we have no choice. The VMI Keydets not only don’t win games, but they don’t play a lick of defense, and they’re 7-13 ATS on the year despite being big underdogs nightly. The Chattanooga Mocs are playing their best ball of the season, and they’ve covered 7 of their last 10 games. The Chattanooga Mocs also beat VMI last month in a game where they scored 109 points on 58 percent shooting. There’s not much left to say for this matchup. It’s the Chattanooga Mocs in another comfortable victory or pass.

Chattanooga vs. East Tennessee State Prediction

I’m backing Chattanooga here. It’s just so hard to back the Buccaneers amidst their current struggles with such a small number on the other side. The Mocs have already shown they can win on the road in conference play, and I think they do enough to get the win and cover here.

UNC Greensboro Spartans

The Spartans got off to a great start this year at 8-1 overall. The only blemish in that time came versus Vanderbilt in game two. UNC Greensboro went a tepid 3-3 over the next six though, losing to Marshall, High Point and Texas with wins over Virginia-Lynchburg, Furman and East Tennessee State otherwise.

On Thursday versus Samford, the Spartans were outscored 40-27 in the first half. UNC Greensboro recovered with 43 second-half points but still lost 79-70. Leading the team in scoring was Mikeal Brown-Jones with 20 points and nine rebounds. Kobe Langley added 15 points as well.

Chattanooga Mocs

Over on the Mocs’ side, they kicked off the year at 5-3 with losses to Evansville, Lipscomb and Morehead State. Chattanooga logged a 4-3 stretch over the next seven, beating Tennessee Wesleyan, Alabama A&M, Gardner-Webb and Furman while falling to Milwaukee, Auburn and Samford.

Matched up against VMI in their Thursday game, the Mocs had a pretty easy outing. Chattanooga turned a 52-30 halftime edge into a 109-61 blowout win with a 57-31 stretch in the second half. Randy Brady topped the team on 16 points and four rebounds off the bench.

ANDREW’S FREE UNC GREENSBORO VS CHATTANOOGA PREDICTION

I’ll stay with Chattanooga. The Mocs posted a nice game against a struggling VMI team in their last outing by shooting a nice 58.3 percent from the field with 42 rebounds. Chattanooga was hot from outside as well on a 47.2 percent (17-of-36) clip. The Mocs are scoring well these days with 73 or more points in five straight games.

As for UNC Greensboro, they weren’t quite able to hang with Samford in their last matchup but they’ve been playing well over the last three games with 70 or more points in each. Saturday’s outing should be a fun competitive affair, and you could probably make a case either way. I’m leaning toward the Mocs on the cover/win, but it’s a coin flip.

Chattanooga Mocs

The Mocs hit a .500 run at 13-13 over their first 26 games this year. Chattanooga finished off the regular season on a 2-3 stretch with losses to UNC Greensboro, Samford and Wofford. The Mocs would then beat VMI and Samford in the first two games of the Southern Conference Tournament.
In Sunday’s tournament game versus Wofford. Chattanooga put up a 35-34 advantage in the first half. The Mocs hit a 39-28 advantage in the second and took the win 74-62. Leading scorer Jake Stephens put up 25 points with seven rebounds. 

Furman Paladins

Over on the Furman side, they went 18-6 over their first 24 games this year. The Paladins finished off the year on a 6-1 stretch with wins over Wofford, VMI, Western Carolina, East Tennessee State, Mercer and Samford, then beat Mercer in tournament activity on Saturday. 

On Sunday in game two of the tournament, the Paladins were up 45-30 on Western Carolina by halftime. Furman blew that lead and had to go to overtime but eventually won it 83-80. Mike Bothwell topped the team on 26 points, and JP Pegues added 24 points with five rebounds. 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably stay with Furman, even considering the rough second half in the overtime win versus Western Carolina on Sunday. I could probably go either way though; this should be a very interesting matchup and the line seems pretty inviting for Chattanooga. The Paladins have now won five straight games, posting 70 or more points in each outing. These teams have met twice this year, with the Paladins taking wins in each. Furman won 77-69 on the road back on January 18, and again 79-58 on February 1 at Timmons Arena. Chattanooga has caught fire in the tournament with 74 or more points in three straight. This should be a fun game to watch, but I’m likely leaning toward the Paladins.

Chattanooga Mocs

Chattanooga managed a .500 run over their first 26 games this year at 13-13 overall. The Mocs went 2-3 to finish off the season, taking losses to UNCG, Samford and Wofford. Chattanooga beat VMI 92-72 in their first tournament game on Friday. 

In the Saturday tournament matchup versus Samford, Chattanooga was ahead 42-37 going into the second half. The Mocs powered out a 45-43 run from there in an 85-82 victory. Jamal Johnson was the team’s top scorer with 25 points and four rebounds. 

Wofford Terriers 

Over on the Wofford side, their first 26 games were a 13-13 stretch. The Terriers finished off the regular season with a 3-2 run, beating Mercer, the Citadel and Chattanooga alongside losses to UNC Greensboro and VMI otherwise.

On Saturday in the UNC Greensboro matchup, Wofford fell behind 36-31 going into the second half. The Terriers hit a 36-30 run from there and won 67-66. BJ Mack scored 16 points with eight rebounds and both Messiah Jones and Jackson Paveletzke scored 14 points each.

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably stick with Wofford. You could make a good case for the Mocs as well, though. The Terriers played a great game versus a tough UNCG opponent on Saturday, and Wofford has now scored 67 or more points in eight straight outings. The Terriers won both games between these teams this year. First came an 85-80 result on January 25 at McKenzie Arena, then an 86-74 game at Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium back on February 25. Chattanooga has hit 70 or more points in nine straight themselves, so this one should be a close, high-scoring finish if both teams are on.
