What to Know

The Florida International Panthers haven't won a game against the Charlotte 49ers since March 1 of 2020, but they'll be looking to end the drought Thursday. The Panthers and Charlotte will face off in a Conference USA battle at 7 p.m. ET at Dale F. Halton Arena. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

On Saturday, Florida International narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Rice Owls 80-78.

Meanwhile, Charlotte strolled past the Marshall Thundering Herd with points to spare on Saturday, taking the contest 99-84.

Florida International is expected to lose this next one by 7. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the team is 3-6-1 ATS when expected to lose.

Florida International is now 15-12 while the 49ers sit at 14-12. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Panthers are stumbling into the matchup with the 46th most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 14.2 on average. Charlotte has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 30th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
