Notes: Transfer from Queens...sat out 2013-14 season due to NCAA transfer rules TRENDING - Chattanooga looks for second straight 2-1 start to the season. - The Mocs have lost nine straight non-conference road games. The last win was November 24 at Kennesaw State (65-51). - Second meeting with Butler losing 56-47 in 2011. The Mocs are 1-6 against current BIG EAST membership (Butler 0-1, Creighton 1-1, Providence 0-1, Xavier 0-3). The 71-65 loss to Providence was in the 1997 NCAA Sweet 16 (March 21). See page three for more series info. - Chattanooga’s probable lineup includes two starters (Casey Jones & Greg Pryor) from last season along with three newcomers. Two, Justin Tuoyo (VCU) and Tre’ McLean (Queens) spent 2013-14 practicing with the squad sitting out the season due to NCAA transfer rules. Chuck Ester signed with the team in the spring period as a junior college transfer (East Mississippi C.C.) with three years of eligibility remaining. So it includes a junior and four sophomores.
