Charlotte, NC - Behind five double figure scorers and a dominant 66-point second half offensive explosion, the Charlotte 49ers (9-15, C-USA: 5-6) ran past the Rice Owls (8-16, C-USA: 3-8), 102-73, in Halton Arena.
“Tonight was a big win for us,” Charlotte 49ers head coach Mark Price said. “I challenged our guys at halftime that if we want to win this game we got to come out and play harder. We got outplayed in the first half and then our guys came out with a whole different mindset. We were aggressive both offensively and defensively.
