Another second-half surge propelled Charlotte to a victory over UTEP, defeating the Miners 88-78 in their final home game.
Braxton Ogbueze led all scorers with 24 points, five rebounds and four assists. Despite suffering from cramps, Andrien White broke the single-season record for made threes by a freshman, finishing with 22 points in 25 minutes. Joseph Uchebo notched his 15th double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Curran Scott rounded out the double-digit scorers with 12 points.
“Early on, we were struggling. We just weren’t a very good team defensively in the first half,” coach Mark Price said.
