Charlotte 49ers Betting Preview

Charlotte started out on a middling run this year, but they’ve had some major difficulties since late December. The 49ers lost five of their first dozen games versus Utah State, LIU, East Tennessee State, Davidson and Hawaii, then hit a losing streak versus Charleston, Tulane, Rice, FAU, Tulsa, Wichita State and Memphis. A 3-5 run came next with wins over South Florida, Rice and Temple amid losses to Temple, UAB, Wichita State, FAU and East Carolina. Since then it’s been consecutive losses to Tulane and East Carolina, giving the 49ers a 10-19 overall record across 29 games so far this season.

In the East Carolina game on Sunday, the 49ers opened on a 27-27 run. After halftime Charlotte fell behind on a 51-49 stretch and lost the game 78-76 in the end. Tops in scoring was Nik Graves with 32 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals in the losing effort. Robert Braswell added 14 points with two rebounds and one assist, while Giancarlo Rosado chipped in with 12 points, four rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes on the floor.

North Texas Mean Green Betting Preview

Over on the North Texas side, they’ve done a solid job in the record column so far this year with only a couple instances of consecutive losses. The Mean Green fell to McNeese, Utah State and High point in their first nine outings, then beat MS Valley State, App State, Houston Christian, UAB, Rice, East Carolina, UTSA, Temple, FAU and Wichita State (with a lone loss to Memphis) in the next 11 outings. After losses to UTSA and UAB, the Mean Green came back with another win streak over Tulane, Rice, Tulsa, South Florida, Florida Atlantic and Wichita State. In total over 28 games that gives the Mean Green a 22-6 record thus far.

Matched up against Wichita State in their Monday outing, the Mean Green were up by three points in the locker room. North Texas managed to fend off the Shockers on a 38-37 run the rest of the way, eking out the win 68-66 in the end. Atin Wright was the only North Texas starter to finish in double-figures with 21 points, four rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes on the court. Bremen Lorient led the bench effort with 15 points and three rebounds in 19 minutes, while Latrell Jossell had 13 bench points, one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block in 24 minutes of work out there.

• Charlotte has lost each of its last nine road games.
• North Texas has won the first half in 21 of its last 22 night games at The Super Pit.

North Texas vs Charlotte Prediction

I’m going to stay with North Texas in this one, but the line’s probably a little too thick to mess with. The Mean Green took out a pretty decent Wichita State team in their last outing, but it was close. North Texas shot a nice 51.1 percent from the field with 41.2 percent (7-of-17) from outside and 13-of-14 (92.9 percent) from the line in that one. That said, the Green did give up 46.2 percent shooting on the other side and had 14 turnovers for 16 Shockers points. Still, that extends the Mean Green’s win streak to six. They’ve been above 68 points in just two of those games, however.

As for Charlotte, they were able to hang around with East Carolina for most of the game in their last appearance but couldn’t finish it off. The 49ers shot pretty well (44.6 percent) in that one but also gave up 52.8 percent to the Pirates alongside a 37-29 rebounding deficit and 13 turnovers for 18 points on the other side. Charlotte has been giving up a lot of points lately: 72 or more in six straight. North Texas should have plenty of offensive opportunities here.
