Nov 4, 2024; Los Angeles, California, USA; Chattanooga Mocs head coach Dan Earl reacts against the Southern California Trojans in the first half at Galen Center. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Trey Bonham scored a game-high 23 points and Honor Huff made the game-sealing 3-pointer to push Chattanooga past Loyola Chicago 80-73 on Tuesday night in Indianapolis, clinching a spot in the NIT championship game.
Huff’s 12 points came on four 3-pointers, none bigger than the tough stepback shot he made with 35 seconds to go to make it 77-73 Mocs.
Bash Wieland scored 12 points and Makai Richards added 10 on 5-for-5 shooting as Chattanooga (28-9) advanced to face UC Irvine in Thursday’s title game.
Jayden Dawson tallied 19 points and six assists to pace Loyola Chicago (25-12). Miles Rubin had 14 points on 7-for-7 shooting and six rebounds, Jalen DeLoach scored 13 points on perfect shooting from the floor (4-for-4) and foul line (5-for-5) and Des Watson added 10 and six boards.
Chattanooga led by as many as 10 in the second half but the Ramblers clawed within one possession as Francis Nwaokorie and Watson hit 3-pointers. Rubin made his seventh bucket to cut it to 72-70, but he committed goaltending on Richards’ layup on the next trip down the floor.
Watson made another 3 to make it 74-73 with 2:37 left. The Ramblers proceeded to miss their final four attempts from the field, a tough end to a 50 percent shooting night.
Bonham ended the game with a fastbreak dunk. The Mocs shot 52.5 percent while controlling the boards 29-22.
A highly competitive first half ended in a 38-34 Loyola Chicago lead. The Ramblers broke out to a 36-27 advantage thanks to seven straight points, but the Mocs responded with seven straight of their own.
The tide turned in the first five minutes of the second half with a 13-4 Chattanooga surge powered by Weiland’s three buckets.
Not long after Loyola had crept within three, Bonham drilled a long 3 and Collin Mulholland’s layup gave Chattanooga the first 10-point lead of the game at 67-57 with 7:33 to go.

The Rockets blew it against the Jimmy Butler-less Warriors. They might regret it
SAN FRANCISCO — Let’s go back to the night of April 6 for a moment.It was the same two teams, the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors, in a regular-season finale everyone knew might be a playoff preview. Same location, the Chase Center, a building where the Warriors had been so dominant since adding Jimmy Butler at the February trade deadline.AdvertisementBut the result was different, an impressive 10-point win for the visitors that seemed to carry some sort of deeper meaning. Maybe, just maybe, this Rockets team could exorcise the Warriors demons that have haunted them for so long.Unlike the version of the Rockets that blew a … golden … opportunity to take the 2-1 series lead Saturday, falling 104-93 in Game 3 to a Warriors team that was without Butler (pelvic contusion), the April 6 Rockets looked like […]

How 48 hours of rage and recrimination overshadowed the Copa del Rey final
Real Madrid were launching one desperate last attempt to save Saturday’s Copa del Rey final when referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea signalled a free kick against forward Kylian Mbappe.With the game well past the 120-minute mark, everyone in Seville’s Estadio Cartuja realised that Barcelona were about to win the game 3-2 and lift the trophy.AdvertisementOn the sidelines, Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger, who, a few minutes earlier, had limped off the pitch injured, leapt to his feet and appeared to throw a bag of ice he had been holding against his leg in the direction of the referee.Amid chaotic scenes, De Burgos Bengoetxea showed a red card to Rudiger, and another to Madrid’s Lucas Vazquez, who had entered the pitch to protest despite having also been substituted earlier.The Basque official then blew the final whistle, and while Barcelona’s players celebrated their […]
NFL Draft: Ranking QBs taken in Rounds 1-3 since 2023 by situation, including Cam Ward, Tyler Shough
Imagn Images The 2025 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and this year's event wasn't without its share of drama. All eyes were on Colorado's Shedeur Sanders as he slipped from consensus first-round target into Day 3, but plenty of other big names found some surprising homes. That includes Sanders' fellow quarterbacks like Tyler Shough, who could end up opening 2025 as the New Orleans Saints' starter; and Jalen Milroe, who's set to watch and learn behind Sam Darnold in the Seattle Seahawks' new-look offense.Talent and smarts alone can certainly elevate young quarterbacks out of the gate. Just look at what C.J. Stroud did in 2023, or what Jayden Daniels did in 2024. More often than not, however, NFL quarterbacks are only as effective as their supporting casts -- their playmakers, their protection, their coaching, etc. And that might […]
