CHATTANOOGA Basketball Preview: How Will The Mocs & Dan Earl Maintain Championship Status?

The Chattanooga Mocs are the preseason favorite after their historic 29-win season and NIT Championship. Coach Dan Earl must replace an entire All-SoCon backcourt.

In This Episode:

  • The Challenge: Replacing over 2,000 points (Huff/Bonham) and translating a fully overhauled roster into championship success, as voted by the Preseason Coaches Poll.
  • The New Core: Colin Mohalland ("The Big Maple") is the new frontcourt leader after his NIT breakout.
  • Backcourt Reload: Analyzing the high-impact transfers like Jakari Johnson and Billy Smith that fit Coach Earl's efficient, motion-based system.
  • Prediction: We set the floor at No. 2 or No. 3 seed and project the ceiling to be SoCon Regular Season and Tournament Champions, making them a dangerous NCAA Tournament opponent.

How will the Mocs respond as the hunted?
