#Charlotte middle tennessee series#

Middle arrives at Thursday's C-USA bout following a 16-point victory over Murray State at home last Wednesday evening in Murfreesboro. The soonest the Niners could accomplish the feat would be on Jan. The 49ers enter Thursday's game with 891 all-time victories as a program, needing just nine wins and 18 overall in 2022-23 to reach the program's historic, 900th victory. The Niners fell to UMASS and at Detroit Mercy in back-to-back games back in November. A win would also help Charlotte avoid back-to-back losses for the second time this season. The Niners won the last meeting between the sides, 60-56, last March inside Halton Arena.

A win would give CLT victories in back-to-back contests against Middle Tennessee for the first time in the history of a series that dates to 1987.

The Niners victory over UTEP came in front of a crowd of no people following a bout of COVID-19 that impacted the Charlotte campus. The 49ers have won two of their last three conference home openers, taking down UAB, 51-44 in 2020, before knocking off UTEP, 66-53 last season. Charlotte comes into the pre-New Years tilt following a tough, 76-68, loss at UAB to open Conference USA last Thursday night down in Birmingham. Thursday's Conference home opener for CLT will be the 16th all-time meeting between the 49ers and Blue Raiders on the collegiate hardwood and the sixth all-time bout in the Queen City.
