Tomorrow at 7 pm, the hoop team blazes the trail to Charlotte for the Belk Bowl bound Deacon football team.
At #237, Charlotte is the weakest team left on the WF schedule, and the 2nd worst team that WF has played this year (behind #319 Quinnipiac).
Record/Schedule: UNCC is 3-4. Wins: Non-D1 Methodist; #342 Presby (83-74); #243 High Point (70-67!!!); Losses: #49 OK State (by 18), #101 College of Charleston; #76 Davidson (by 15), #251 JMU.
Coach: Former NBAer who played against Manning in the "League", Mark Price. Price is 30-40 at UNCC. He is 0-13 against top 100 teams over his 3 seasons with the 49ers (WF is currently #73). WF beat Charlotte 91-74 last year (WF shot 59% from 22; 43% from 3, and shot 34 FTs; JC was WF's leading scorer with 22; BC had 15).
Offense: Charlotte is #173 on offense. They shoot the 3 very well (42%), but don't shoot many 3s (only 27% of their offense comes from 3s -- #252). They also get to the line often (#12 in FTA per FGA). Otherwise, the UNCC offense is weak: #270 in offensive rebounding %, #254 in 2 PT shooting % 46.8%, #274 in FT% --67%.
Defense: The 49ers defense is terrible (#276 -- almost 100 spots below the WF defense -- think about that). Like Richmond, they have no interior D (56.7% on two point FG% #320 -- Doral again will be unstoppable), they don't defend 3s particularly well (36% - #211), hey don't force turnovers (#180); their effective FG% is 56% #300. Just bad all around on D.
Tempo: UNCC plays at a quick tempo (#37); so, if WF wants to run, WF can push the ball, but that is something that WF has not tried to do this year (WF is #269 in tempo).
Size and lineup: Charlotte starts a lineup that goes 6-3, 6-3, 6-7, 6-7, 6-7; they have 6-9 and 6-10 bigs that come off the bench, but have not made an impact. Their best player is PG Jon Davis (he scored 16 at WF last year), but he struggled with his shooting stroke to start the season (37% from 2; 11% from 3 - shot 37% last year).
Charlotte is not a good team and their weak interior defense should result in another big day for Doral. KP predicts a 83-76 win. Would think WF will win by a bigger margin, but WF has already lost to Liberty, Drake and GA Southern; so, maybe not.
The game is listed as being televised on "Stadium". Not sure what that means.
