His 27 points against ETSU Friday moved him into 10th all-time with 1,385 career points. He is only the third person to have both 1,300 career points and 700 career boards. Brown tied the career program record with 27 double-doubles. Stephen Clark had two blocks on the Buccaneers for second-most blocks in one season with 75 and fourth-most career blocks with 137.

THE STORY SO FAR WITH CHATTANOOGA...
Saturday, Jan. 8: UTC 85, The Citadel 67 (at UTC)
Stephen Clark posted his first career 20-point game with 22 points, making 9-of-15 from the field with 16 second-half points. He also added six rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots. The Bulldogs remained toe-for-toe with the Mocs in the opening half, trailing 36-31 at the break. They did not get any closer, however, as Chattanooga outscored The Citadel, 49-36, in the second half, pumping its lead to as much as 20.

Saturday, Jan. 29: UTC 75, The Citadel 62 (at The Citadel)
The Citadel proved worthy contenders against first-place Chattanooga, despite the 75-62 defeat. Several Bulldogs accepted bigger roles, including Jackson Price and Owen Spencer, who both stepped up in the wake of Hayden Brown's absence with seven and five rebounds, respectively. Stephen Clark had a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds, while Tyler Moffe rattled in a game-high 21 points and making three 3-pointers. The Mocs' Malachi Smith and David Jean-Baptiste were held below their league-leading averages.

UP TIL NOW...
The Bulldogs' six SoCon regular season wins are the most since 2014-15 and their five road wins the most since 2008-09. The Bulldogs had a pair of three-game, five-day stretches of their SoCon season. The Citadel has posted first-round SoCon Tournament wins in back-to-back years for the second time under head coach Duggar Baucom. The last was 2017/2018.
