Niners Look for Season Sweep of Spiders in Richmond

2012-02-18T20:42:09Z

With five games left in the regular season, the Charlotte 49ers arrive at a crossroads in their season. This evening the Niners play at Richmond (13-14, 4-8 A10), who trails Charlotte (12-12, 4-7 A10) by 1/2 a game in the Atlantic 10 Standings for 10th-place. With a three-game home stand against two of the three [...]

Dayton Preview: Blackburn Bailout

2012-02-15T21:48:14Z

Listen, reader. We haven’t had content since the LaSalle game. Get over it. You should be thankful that one of us bothered to write a preview for that game. Seriously, who cares about LaSalle? As NLP often points out, fans have no excuse for forgetting there’s a game. But there has to be an exception [...]

Preview: Charlotte Looks to End Skid Versus Explorers

2012-02-01T16:07:15Z

Tonight, the Charlotte Forty-Niners (10-10 overall, 2-5 A-10) try to get on the right track by traveling to Philadelphia for a game versus the La Salle Explorers (16-6 overall, 5-2 A-10). Some Niner fans may remember the Explorers from two years ago, when the now departed An’Juan Wilderness hit a crazy runner to win the [...]

Barnett Flexes Muscle, But So Does Xavier

2012-01-30T16:50:43Z

Following what happened Wednesday night, the 49ers had the challenge of attempting to rebound against the Atlantic 10′s flagship program, Xavier. Javarris Barnett had a career night, but it wasn’t enough as Charlotte (10-10, 2-5) came up short to Xavier (14-7, 5-3) and lost, 74-70. Barnett got the game started with a three-pointer from the [...]

Xavier Preview – GTG talks with Dana and Victory

2012-01-28T02:56:19Z

Since joining the Atlantic 10, the Niners have managed to beat Xavier twice. Both of those victories occurred in Halton and took place during losing seasons. Needless to say, it’s been strange. Beating Xavier seems to be an indication that we suck, and since we have done just that the past two games there’s a [...]

Niners Look to Keep Owls Winless in Halton

2012-01-25T15:27:54Z

Three straight conferences losses have deflated the momentum created by the Niners’ hot start to conference play. Looking to reverse that backwards momentum, Charlotte (10-8, 2-3) welcomes Temple (13-5, 2-2) to Halton Arena tonight for the 12th all-time meeting between the schools (Temple leads 6-5). Temple, as most are #aware, is a quality program. They [...]

Niners survive scare from Kennesaw State

2012-01-19T16:41:38Z

Well that was a little unexpected. Or maybe it wasn’t? Whatever your feelings were ahead of Wednesday’s non-conference contest against Kennesaw State, the outcome left much to be desired. While the shooting was there for the Niners, who improved to 10-7 on the season (2-2 in league play), sharp outside shooting by the visiting Owls [...]

Kennesaw State flaps their nocturnal wings into town to face Niners

2012-01-18T03:34:56Z

With a two-game losing streak, the Charlotte 49ers (9-7, 2-2) look to get back to winning with a Wednesday evening tilt against the Kennesaw State Owls (3-15, 0-7). Normally we refuse to include victories against non-DI teams; however, when your level of futility is approaching Wisselian proportions… well we just feel bad. KSU is one [...]

Turnovers Secure Charlotte’s Demise to Saint Louis

2012-01-16T18:28:31Z

A fast start to Atlantic 10 play came to a grinding to a halt when Charlotte (9-7, 2-2 A10) dropped its second straight to Saint Louis (13-4, 2-2 A10). The Niners jumped out to a 10-2 lead three and a half minutes into the game. Charlotte was hitting its shots and keeping the Billikens from [...]

GAMEDAY: Niners set to take on Bilikens

2012-01-14T17:18:42Z

Normally we open with some sort of snark about eviscerating our opposition; however, the GTG staff apparently has a case of the #badfans and some are predicting defeat. As usual, McFly and 2k are being Negative Nancys. Pish tosh, says NLP, the Niners are going to empty the Saint Louis chances for victory like liposuction [...]
