Conference USA action continues when the Charlotte 49ers (18-11, 18-11 ATS, 9-9 C-USA) travel to take on the UTSA Roadrunners (9-21, 11-15-2 ATS, 3-16 C-USA). Charlotte is coming off an easy win over Rice, defeating the Owls 70-54 as 6.5-point favorites. UTSA just grabbed a rare conference win, beating Florida International on the road 95-91 as 8-point underdogs. These two teams met earlier this season with Charlotte winning by 18 at home. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:00 ET from the UTSA Convocation Center in San Antonio, Texas.
The Charlotte 49ers are making a late run through the C-USA, as they have won their last four games, including a win over North Texas who is 2nd in the conference. The C-USA is likely to only get one bid in the NCAA Tournament, so they will need to ride this momentum into the conference tournament. In their last game the 49ers were led by guard Brice Williams with 25 points in the win over Rice.
