Niners lose heartbreaker on last second shot

Charlotte played hard for 40 minutes but the Niners suffered a heartbreaking loss at home, falling to Southern Miss 63-60 on a last second shot.

“I think today was a perfect example of what beating yourself looks like,” head coach Ron Sanchez said. “When you’re a team like ours, the margin of error is very small. When the game is on the line, you can’t give up possessions. One lesson that we will learn is to eliminate losing by the things that we can control.”

The 49ers (4-12, 1-4 C-USA) finished the game with three players in double figures, led by Jon Davis with 20 points and seven rebounds. Jaylan McGill tied his season-high with 13 points, while Cooper Robb recorded 12 points on the night.
