An extra five minutes in Thomas Assembly Center was not enough for Charlotte to pull off a victory against Louisana Tech, losing 93-90 in overtime. For the second game in a row, five 49ers scored in double figures.
Despite dropping their second Conference-USA game, head coach Mark Price remained positive after the difficult defeat.
Tough loss by @49ersBasketball on the road in OT tonight. Great effort and grit by our players! #FutureIsBright #GrowingTogether
