What to Know

The Charlotte 49ers are 3-10 against the Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Thursday. Charlotte and Middle Tenn. are set to clash at 7 p.m. ET March 9 at Ford Center at The Star in the second round of the Conference USA Conference Tourney. The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two.

It was close but no cigar for the 49ers as they fell 93-91 to the UAB Blazers on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Middle Tenn. lost to the Texas-El Paso Miners on the road by a decisive 77-65 margin.

Both teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses last week. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
