Before heading to Hawaii for the Diamond Head Classic on Thursday, Dec. 19, Charlotte Menโ€™s 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 isnโ€™t last year when UWG went 27-6 and lost to Florida Southern in the NCAAT to close out the formerโ€™s run as a D-II program.

Apparently their records donโ€™t 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?

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. :face_vomiting:

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 โ€œthese teams have never faced each otherโ€ as well as listing Fearneโ€™s record at โ€œMercerโ€ instead of Charlotte!

#345 out of 364โ€ฆ 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.
