Chattanooga defeats Alabama A&M 66-73

Chattanooga Outlasts Alabama A&M in Narrow, Upset Victory

In a closely contested non-conference matchup, the visiting Chattanooga Mocs edged out the host Alabama A&M Bulldogs 73-66 at Event Center on Monday evening.

The primary storyline of the night centered around Chattanooga's ability to withstand a late surge from the Bulldogs and emerge victorious. Trailing by three points at halftime, the away team took control in the second half, outscoring Alabama A&M 36-33 to secure the narrow win.

Chattanooga's top performer was junior guard [Player Name], who scored 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field. The Mocs' sharpshooting threat proved decisive in the game, as [Player Name] connected on four three-pointers, including a crucial one late in the second half.

The Bulldogs' offense struggled to find its rhythm throughout the contest, particularly from beyond the arc. Alabama A&M shot just 6-of-23 (26%) from three-point range, while Chattanooga held their opponent to a more manageable 5-of-18 (28%).

Despite being outrebounded by eight, Chattanooga's balanced attack and stifling defense ultimately proved too much for the Bulldogs to overcome. The Mocs' bench played a key role in securing the victory, with [Player Name] contributing five points off the bench.

The win marks an impressive upstart performance for Chattanooga, which now boasts a 2-0 record against unranked opponents this season. Alabama A&M, meanwhile, falls to 1-3 on the year.

In a game that was decided by just seven points, the Mocs' poise and resolve down the stretch served as the decisive factor. With their first road win of the season under their belt, Chattanooga will look to build momentum for the remainder of the non-conference schedule.
