The WKU men’s basketball team (10-10) headed to Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday to take on the 49ers (6-13) in the last leg of their four-game, 3,400 mile road trip.
The 49ers took advantage of a number of costly WKU turnovers and poor transition defense to hand the Hilltoppers their tenth loss of the season.
The Hilltoppers watched Charlotte finish the night shooting 55 percent from the field while also sinking 10 three pointers in the 88-71 loss.
Charlotte forced the Toppers to turn the ball over 13 times which lead to 20 points for the 49ers.
