Charlotte, N.C. – Behind four players in double-figures led by Austin Ajukwa's double-double with a career-high 30 points and 11 rebounds, the Charlotte 49ers (11-11, C-USA: 5-6) defeated FIU (5-18, C-USA: 1-9), 95-80, in Halton Arena.
"Good bounce back win for us tonight after a tough disappointing two-point loss on Thursday," Charlotte coach Mark Price said. "It's always a challenge with a young team to be able to overcome disappointments but we just talked about getting better every time we step on the court that's got to be our goal. We didn't have as many breakdowns tonight that was a goal.
