The Deacs went up against a pretty bad Charlotte team on Thursday night and finally did exactly what they are supposed to do against bad teams—blew them out. And while Charlotte certainly looked like one of the worst teams in the nation, there were some solid things to take away from this game. To me, one of the best things the Deacs did in this game was keep Jon Davis from getting in a rhythm.
Davis was clearly the focus on defense for the Deacs in this one, and for obvious reasons.

He’s the only Niner player averaging double digits points, and without him, I honestly don’t know if Charlotte would win a game this year.
