Nice win by Charlotte over Xavier last night
As a C-USA school next year, Charlotte looked good getting the win and had a good crowd. Will be fun to see the Miners play there when its the Miners vs the Niners!

RE: Nice win by Charlotte over Xavier last night
I look forward to the matchups with UTEP. I'm relieved to see that you guys will likely be remaining in CUSA, at least in the short term.

I think next year UTEP, USM, and Charlotte will probably be the three favorites to win the league. All three schools have a lot of young talent.

We lose one of our best players in Chris Braswell, but retain everyone else and add Shawn Lester (who was a top 150 recruit until he committed to us and was no longer useful for selling subscriptions to Rivals).


The attendance last night was great and I expect it to remain high as long as we keep winning. The VCU game will likely be a sellout and the Temple game should have a very good crowd as well.

Thanks, the students really turned out in force and created a great atmosphere that reminded me of the old C-USA days.


Like NN said, we are returning pretty much everyone on our squad and hopefully our core can really start to gel. If they continue to progress the way they have, should be good times in CUSA again.

We did a home and home with you guys when we were in CUSA.
I think Charlotte took both games.

C-USA basketball could really improve when it's all said and done. We lose Memphis, but ODU, Charlotte and Middle Tennessee are all really solid programs. I'm actually kind of excited for the new C-USA in basketball.

Don't tell CBS or E***. Basically their comment was "those three schools do 'nothing' for C-USA basketball."

Are you sure that was the Charlotte Observer that said that?

Yep. I still LOL at the Observer writer saying we shot poorly from the field against Xavier.

For those of you that haven't seen the box score, we shot 50% from the field.

Pretty much all the writers are Tarheel graduates, including the editor.

The editor used to come over to our board and heckle us.

They used to have a really fat **** of a writer that used to bad mouth our program all the time too, but he died a few years back.

We had a 49er graduate as a beat writer for a while, but he was close to Lutz and went apeshit after we fired him. He just makes fun of the program on twitter now and covers nascar for the paper.

Our current beat writer is a tarheel and he does a decent job covering us, but you can tell he just does the bare minimum.

I don't have any problems with him, I just wish he'd do more digging for stories.

How unprofessional of an editor to be on message boards heckling. Our last two beat writers at the Daily Mail in Charleston have been wvu grads, but they are very professional and you can tell they didn't get into the whole "hate everything Marshall" most of their fans have. They have both been excellent covering Marshall.

Definitely some talent in the future CUSA basketball. By HoopScoop, the top CUSA recruiting classes for 2013 are UTEP, MTSU, and UAB. UAB is having a down year, but hopefully with the 5 we have coming in next year, we will be back competing for another CUSA title.

I know this is the conventional wisdom on NinerNation.net, but Jim does still pull for Charlotte. He posts positive Niners stuff on FB regularly and I have never seen anything negative on there from him.

Thanks to the 49ers, ECU's RPI shot up 20 pts. Now in the top 100.

Excellent! We now have another win over a top 100 team. Too bad they won't be schedule fodder for us every year. 02-13-banana

I bet, also thanks to the Niners, that RPI just went down. Well, that and your lost to UTEP.

Congrats to the Niners for this big win over Xavier. ANY win over Xavier is a good win.

My LA Tech Bulldogs just beat Utah St on the road last night. Tech is now 18-3 overall, 9-0 in the WAC. And unlike our football team, most of our guys will be returning next year. So I'm looking forward to playing the Niners!
