The Charlotte men’s basketball team was dealt their first loss of the season after facing USC Upstate. The 49ers (3-1) held the lead for the majority of the game, however a second-half surge from the Spartans (3-2) lead the game to overtime and eventually an Upstate victory.
After a strong start that saw Charlotte build an early fourteen point lead, Upstate would continue to chip away and eventually grab their first lead with two and a half minutes left in regulation. A late three by the Spartan’s Malik Moore would tie the ball game and eventually send the game into overtime.
