Senior forward Isaiah Hicks has plenty of experience and he showed it with 16 points in the opener on 7-of-8 from the field, while freshman Tony Bradley made an impressive debut by draining five of his seven shot attempts and grabbing five rebounds.

• Chattanooga has knocked off an SEC team in the opener the past two seasons, including a 92-90 overtime triumph over Georgia in 2015.
