The Charlotte 49ers and the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders will meet in Frisco to face off in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA Championship at the Ford Center on ESPN+.
Charlotte fell to 18-13 after losing to UAB in the Queen City. The 49ers and the Blazers battled it out in an overtime shootout, and Birmingham would hand them a two-point loss, 93-91. Charlotte is scoring 66.8 points per game, while allowing 62.6 ppg, and shooting 46.8% from the floor.
Charlotte dropped their last two games, and they’ll look to respond here at home in the tournament. The 49ers have leaned on a rugged defensive approach, with Brice Williams leading the way offensively. The junior guard went off for a season-high 32 points in the finale against UAB, and he leads the Niners in scoring (13.5). Sophomore Aly Khalifa scored 27 points against UTSA last week, and he’s averaging 11.8 ppg and a team-lead 6.5 rpg.
