EL PASO, Texas – Charlotte gave Conference USA regular-season champion (RV/RV) UTEP all it could handle, battling for an extra 10 minutes before eventually dropping a 94-91 double-overtime nail biter inside the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas. The 49ers went to a second overtime for the first time since 2009-10 and the three-point margin tied for the closest by any Miners opponent this season.
