Bracket Buster: Chattanooga

I'm hesitant to look at Chattanooga as a potential bracket buster. They're 105th in KenPom. They do have wins over a bad Illinois team, a borderline tourney team in Georgia and an overrated Dayton squad. 

They strike me as a team similar to UNC-Wilmington, one more likely to make noise a year from now. The Mocs heaviest usage guys are mostly juniors and they've played well after losing leading scorer Casey Jones in December.

But, they have Scrappy the Mockingbird as their mascot. Advantage: UT-Chattanooga.

If they get matched with an over seeded team, they'll have a chance. They don't do anything exceptionally well or have a hidden gem star. Not a team I expect to pull an upset but a team worth paying attention to because they should be really good again next year.
