[b]It's time to get those feet firmly planted on that Charlotte bandwagon. The 49ers (20-4 and 11-2 in Conference USA after their 80-77 win over visiting Memphis Wednesday night) are playing themselves into the [b]NCAA tournament No. 4 seed[/b] stratosphere. They've won eight of nine (a baffling 54-51 loss at East Carolina the bump in that road), with a March 3 trip to Louisville the most challenging, obviously, of their final three regular-season tilts. Senior [b]Eddie Basden will hook up against the Cardinals' Francisco Garcia in that one, a matchup that could impact conference player of the year voting[/b], as well as the regular season championship.[/b]
