Freshman Keynan Davis scored a season-high 18 points on 8-of-13 shooting. AJ Smith added 14 while netting a pair of threes. Elijah Morgan once again reached doubles figures with 13 points to go along with seven boards and three assists.
First Half:
- Davis' layup and one put CIT up 13-10 just over four minutes into the ballgame.
- UTC tied the game at 17-17 before a corner three had the Mocs ahead 23-19 halfway through the opening stanza.
- After a fastbreak layup, another UTC 3-ball pushed the edge to double-digits, 32-21, forcing CIT to talk things over.
- Five straight points by the Bulldogs, including a Smith long ball, cut the margin to six, 32-26, at the 5:40 mark.
- A UTC layup momentarily nudged the difference back to double-digits with 33 seconds left but a Davis layup with two ticks remaining had CIT trailing by nine, 45-36, at the intermission.
- The Mocs started the second half with a quick 6-0 run to earn their biggest lead of the game to that point, 15, causing the Bulldogs to call a quick timeout 1:20 into the half, down 51-36.
- UTC's eighth 3-pointer of the game extended the margin to over 20, 66-45, at the 13:33 mark.
- Another Mocs three followed by a dunk ballooned the score to 79-52 at the under-8 media timeout as UTC sailed to a 90-62 victory.
