Gameday vs Old Dominion - Usurp the Monarchs!

“Besides Charlotte, who shoots a three at the end when you’re only down two?”

Admit, you said that walking out of Halton Arena last season after the Old Dominion game. At the time, it seemed relatively harmless: a 1-pt loss to a solid team. Of course we’d go on to lose the majority of [...]

Niners Make Wool Sweaters out of WSSU Rams, 94-52.

Real Ram's Wool – Just in time for Christmas!

Don’t you love a good thrashing?

Charlotte came out and dominated every facet of this game from start to finish. Just as we should, since the Rams are next to last in RPI overall and have practically dropped all expectations to ever compete in [...]

Gameday vs Louisville - Predictions

Remember the last time we played Louisville? It was supposed to be an epic battle with not only the CUSA regular season championship at stake, but potentially the CUSA POY award as well between Garcia and Basden. Niners and Cards fans everywhere tuned in to see a battle, but instead they got what was [...]

Multitude of Weapons sink Pirates' Ship, Niners down ECU 80-68.

Pirates fans watch the game come to a close.

Last season at six games in, we were 1-5. Now, at 5-1, as Phil Jones put it in his post game interview, “Well, it’s a lot better than last year.” There’s not a better way to put it than that, really. After downing ECU [...]

Game #6: Blackout versus ECU

No amount of bleach to the eyes could erase this horrible game from my mind.

The last time the Charlotte 49ers faced the EZU Pirates, it was the Niners who were forced to walk the plank, losing 54-51.  That game featured an ice storm that kept many faithful from making the drive to [...]

Niners down Hofstra 80-72, Spears wanted in eleven states.

That’s more like it.  Tonight the Niners got their first “true” road win against Hofstra 80-72.  I threw true in quotation marks because of the whopping 783 attendance tonight.  That’s not a typo either.  But consider the Mack Sports Complex was a house of horrors and the Niners lacking any sort of statement victory [...]

Hofstra Gameday - Predictions

LIARS!

Here’s a true story that many Niner fans across the world (yes, across the world, we have a fan in Australia) can commiserate with about the Hofstra game in 07-08. HP and I wanted to watch the game, but like most people, didn’t have MASN at home. Going to a bar was our [...]

Game #5, NIT Tip-off versus Hofstra

 

Infamous alum Bernie Madoff unavailable for tonight's game.

Tonight the Niners get the opportunity to redeem one of their worst losses in recent years when they tip off against the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra.  The Pride (nothing better than changing your nickname because your previous one is a slave ship reference) is coming [...]

Yale Postgame - Derrio is here!

Nevermind the fact that for a possession or two we were losing to Yale by one point, the Niners are 3-1! That’s way better than last season, which I think we all want to forget. A winning record, that by itself we only had for one game last year, right? Harsh.

Last time we [...]

Game #4, NIT Tip-off versus Yale

After a brutal whipping by the Duke Blue Devils, Niner fans hope to leave the fetal position with a good showing against today’s opponent, the Yale Bulldogs. The Elis of New Haven sport a 1-3 record, with their most recent game being a defeat at the hands of Quinnipiac (64-71). Although this normally sounds [...]
