Before heading to Hawaii for the Diamond Head Classic on Thursday, Dec. 19, Charlotte Menโs Basketball (5-4) will host West Georgia (1-10)
1-10. Niners dagum better win.
Charlotte and West Georgia meet for just the second time in program history, with the first meeting dating back to 1971.
Yep, this isnโt last year when UWG went 27-6 and lost to Florida Southern in the NCAAT to close out the formerโs run as a D-II program.
Apparently their records donโt go back as far as ours:
See that UWG won the NAIA national title in 1974. Their coach then - Roger Kaiser, an All-American player at Georgia Tech during its SEC days - would go on to win three more NAIA championships at Life University in Atlanta.
Niners were just making the transition from NAIA to NCAA during the 1970-71 season, the first under former Citadel assistant Bill Foster, whose previous experience included being HC at then NAIA Shorter College of Rome, GA.
Anyone have 2 extra tickets?
Iโll send you 3 and a parking pass. Send me your email or phone number
Any intel on Graves?
Are Nick Graves and Rosado Able to play tonight
Niners favored by 15 1/2:
We may be able to win without them.
Last time we were favored by this much vs LIU we were embarrassed.
CBS Sports saying Niners by 12.
Looking for 1 more ticket and a parking pass if anyone is not going!
Thanks and go NINERS!
Been trying to access the game notes for tonight but keep getting a 404 error message, so no updates on injuries.
Also skimmed through the UWG game notes. Erroneously says โthese teams have never faced each otherโ as well as listing Fearneโs record at โMercerโ instead of Charlotte!
#345 out of 364โฆ putting them in the bottom 5% of all NCAA D1 teams. We need to put them away early and hard.
Surprised UWG not last being the newest D-I program and only one win.
There are some win less teams and also teams with some wins but still below them.
