A chaotic finish on Monday night has catapulted Chattanooga back into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in six seasons.
Thanks to a deep buzzer-beating three from senior guard David Jean-Baptiste, the Mocs are headed back to March Madness after defeating No. 2 Furman, 64–63, in overtime for the Southern Conference championship.
The heated contest was the first-ever title game meeting between the two programs. The win gave Chattanooga its first conference crown since 2016 and its 11th in program history.
Furman guard Mike Bothwell, who led all players with 24 points, scored a game-tying bucket with less than five seconds remaining in OT.
