Johnson University 47 - Chattanooga 97
The Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball team featured seven players in double figures as the team upped its winning streak to five games behind a convincing 97-47 victory over NAIA-member Johnson University (TN) on Saturday afternoon inside McKenzie Arena. Following the team's fifth-straight win, Chattanooga improves to 7-3 this season. Johnson falls to 1-13 this season after the loss. A stingy defensive attack allowed the Mocs to take a sizable 43-13 lead into the break after the team held the Royals to a 16.2% (6-of-37) mark from the field including a 5.3% (1-of-19) tally from deep during that span. UTC finished the game shooting 43.8% (32-of-73) from the floor and extended their 12-plus three-pointer streak to five games behind a 12-of-37 (32.4%) effort from deep.
Radford 74 - VMI 77
Hoping for its third straight win overall and second in a row against Division I competition, the VMI basketball team earned a hard-fought 77-74 victory over in-state foe Radford University Saturday afternoon at Cameron Hall. The game was tabbed as a Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer game sponsored by the Go4TheGoal Foundation as the coaching staffs from both teams donned gold laces and sneakers to promote the cause. The Keydets (5-6) snapped Radford's two-game win streak in the series and the Highlanders' overall three-game win streak as Radford falls to 6-4 on the season and 1-4 on the road. VMI defeated Navy last weekend as Saturday's win marked a second straight victory against a Division 1 opponent.
