CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (SESN) — The Chattanooga Mocs men’s basketball team is ready to conclude its three-game road trip begin the 2024-25 season with a Monday night contest at in-state foe Austin Peay inside F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville, Tenn. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
Chattanooga (0-2), who was shorthanded due to injuries during its first two games, is coming off an intriguing 86-74 defeat at perennial power Saint Mary’s (CA) last Thursday night. The Mocs used a 16-2 run in the second half to take a brief lead over the Gaels before the hosts pulled away down the stretch. Makai Richards scored a career-high 19 points during the loss.
Austin Peay (2-0) heads into Monday night’s game following an impressive 68-66 win at Big East member Butler on Friday night in Indianapolis. The Govs appeared in the ASUN title game last season before kicking off this year’s campaign with back-to-back victories.
