2023-24 49er MBB Game #19 Charlotte vs UAB 1/23 7:00 PM ESPN+

104 and 105 should be students. Having them there creates an atmosphere befitting a true home court advantage and is especially impressive on TV. Thatā€™s the image we should be projecting to the world of what playing at Halton is all about for opposing teams and potential recruits who are watching. Our players would appreciate it too. :fire:

I would be curious to see what they want to do with the Halton renovation, Looks like the club seating/upgraded amenities will be on the bench side of the court. Could you convince fans to move to the other side and give students the court side seats away from the benches? I know this is a probably a long way off but this would probably be the best solution.

I think they are flipping the court and moving benches to the other side.

After years of sitting behind our bench I was forced to move. I assumed this was to accommodate students. Agree they need prime seating and it would look great for TVā€¦ see recent UNCW

Heā€™s 100% talking about Plavich. Dude had bowling balls for calves, and while he could go ice cold at times, he also could drop seven or eight threes in a game. Which he did against UAB a time or two.

ā€¦ or 10 threes in a game. Charlotteā€™s Brendan Plavich set a Carrier Dome record with 10 3-pointers, and seventh-ranked Syracuse began defense of its national title with a 96-92 defeat November 23, 2003.

FWIW, I count 9 seats left in the lower bowl, 8 of which are in the corner section (126). Thereā€™s one lonely seat left in 102.

We need to fill the upper bowl on the alumni side though. Still a lot of good seats left there.

Too bad this out of towner cannot get ESPN+ with the cable any more. Any other viewing options?

Jus trying to be helpful, but ESPN+ has nothing to do with cable. Itā€™s a separate subscription. Your cable subscription will get games that are broadcast on ā€œwatchESPNā€, plus anything on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU (plus ACCN &, SECN). Itā€™s kinda confusing, but it seems like ESPN is phasing out those watchESPN / streaming only games anyway. ESPN+ will be your only video option tonight.

Not good.

To be honest, it could be a lot worse.

They were way quicker in first 10 minutes. We have adjusted.
First 5 minutes of second half will tell the tale.

We may not winā€¦ and, Iā€™ll be disappointed.

Butā€¦ this is the 2nd time in the last 3 games weā€™ve been down by 20 points in the 1st half, and didnā€™t completely collapse. Fighting back would never have happened under the previous leadership.

That saidā€¦ this is the 2nd time in the last 3 games weā€™ve been down by 20 points in the first half. We need to let that sink in and adjust to make sure this doesnā€™t become a habit.

Need to shoot better in the second half and stop the dumb turnovers.

And honestly, thereā€™s no legitimate way they only had 5 fouls in the first half.
