What to Know
The Charlotte 49ers will play host again and welcome the Western Carolina Catamounts to Dale F. Halton Arena, where tip-off is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The 49ers should still be riding high after a victory, while Western Carolina will be looking to regain their footing.
The stars were brightly shining for Charlotte in a 70-54 win over the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks on Monday.
Meanwhile, the Catamounts were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Monday as they fell 85-79 to the Georgia Bulldogs. Guard Travion McCray put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 20 points and five assists along with eight boards.
Charlotte is now 6-5 while Western Carolina sits at 6-6. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Charlotte is stumbling into the matchup with the 18th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 10.8 on average. The Catamounts have had an even harder time: they are ninth worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.3 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
