What to Know

The Chattanooga Mocs are 2-9 against the Furman Paladins since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Saturday. Chattanooga and Furman will face off in a Southern battle at 3 p.m. ET at McKenzie Arena. The Mocs are out to keep their four-game home win streak alive.

The matchup between Chattanooga and the Western Carolina Catamounts on Wednesday was not a total blowout, but with Chattanooga falling 70-59 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. This was hardly the result Chattanooga or its fans were betting on, as they were favored by 12.5 points over Western Carolina heading into this contest.

Meanwhile, the E. Tennessee State Buccaneers typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday the Paladins proved too difficult a challenge. Furman came out on top against E. Tennessee State by a score of 78-69.

Furman's victory lifted them to 12-6 while Chattanooga's loss dropped them down to 13-4. We'll see if Furman can repeat their recent success or if Chattanooga bounces back and reverse their fortune.
