HOW THEY GOT HERE
This is exactly why we love March. In the Southern Conference title game, after a wild final minute, Chattanooga guard David Jean-Baptiste sank a prayer of a buzzer-beating three-pointer as time expired to lift the Mocs to a wild 64-63 victory over Furman in overtime for a ticket to the NCAA Tournament. It’s just the second time since 2010 that the Mocs are dancing.
