The Charlotte 49ers (12-14, 6-9 C-USA) came out victorious against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (13-15, 7-8 C-USA) 83-77 in Hlaton Arena Thursday night.

“This was a really good win for us,” Charlotte coach Mark Price said. “I thought for the most part, we played 40 minutes of solid basketball, [WKU] made a run in the second half, tied the game and even took the lead momentarily. We’ve been talking as a team about being more resilient when that stuff happens. I didn’t see any heads drop or any eyes glaze over, I saw a determined group go out there and get a win tonight.
