The Charlotte 49ers tip-off the Conference-USA tournament Wednesday, March 9 at 7 p.m. ET. In preparation for the event, our staff writers weighed in on why the 49ers will crown themselves champions come Saturday:

Although Mark Price can’t go and shoot the lights out on the court with his players, coach Price was once in conference tournaments, which takes us back to the 1985 Georgia Tech season.
In 1985, Price was in his senior season with the Yellow Jackets, where he would later have his jersey retired, averaging just under 20 points per game.
