Dr Pepper Classic Fun Revs Up

It's getting close to gametime for the Dr Pepper Classic.

This tournament should be one of the more entertaining ones in recent years for the tournament. In the first game, Hampton takes on Utah Valley. Utah Valley may be considered the favorite in the whole tournament. Hampton has Jasper Williams returning to McKenzie Arena. That makes it a truly interesting match-up, even for the Mocs fans. Chattanooga fans should find that game highly entertaining to watch.

In the second game, Longwood takes on Chattanooga. The Lancers are a high scoring team and a team that is very capable of beating the Mocs, especially if they play like they did against Kennesaw State and Gardner-Webb and Savannah State. The Mocs need to perform extremely well to instill some confidence in the fans and continue to build toward SoCon play.

In the second round of games, Hampton and Williams against Chattanooga would be very interesting, while a Utah Valley-Chattanooga game would be a huge challenge to the Mocs to come up with the win. Longwood against either of them would also be an interesting offensive match-up.

This is a really interesting tournament. All four games should be entertaining. For the best attendance, the Mocs need to win on opening night, but if that happens, this tournament should get some decent attendance figures. This ought to be one of the more Dr Pepper Classics in many years.

GO MOCS!
