Picked eighth in the Conference USA preseason poll for the 2016-2017 season, the Charlotte 49ers currently sit in the 10th spot midway through conference play (10-10, 4-5 C-USA).
The 49ers have gone through their highs and lows during their first nine games of conference action, with nine games remaining before heading to Birmingham, Alabama, for the C-USA tournament. Let’s take a look back on how Charlotte has performed at the midway point.
Charlotte got off to a hot start in their first game against North Texas on Dec. 31, winning 101-76, looking like they were on a mission to prove the coaches around the league wrong with their preseason ranking.
