Three things the 49ers (1-2) need to do tonight if they're going to beat East Carolina (2-1) in a losers bracket game at the Charleston Classic:
-- Get Shamari Spears and Chris Braswell involved earlier: Charlotte's inside game was mostly nonexistent against George Mason on Thursday. Spears is settling for jump shots and Braswell didn't start going to the basket regularly until the game was way out of reach.
-- Figure out a way to get Derrio Green some easy baskets to get his offensive game going Green has started the season in a dismal shooting slump and continued that by going 3 of 12 against George Mason. He's playing lots of minutes with point guard Jamar Briscoe because of Charlotte's glaring lack of backcourt depth, but he's got to find his shot again.
-- Hit the offensive boards. Charlotte shot poorly (38 percent) against George Mason, then basically gave up, grabbing just eight offensive rebounds. George Mason used all those defensive rebounds to run Charlotte into the ground in the second half. Coach Alan Major said that's all about toughness and his team doesn't have it yet. Charlotte forced just 8 turnovers and allowed the Patriots to shoot 65 percent in the second half.

Dewhurst returns soon!
This team needs his fight!!!
charlotte looked awful last night. what's with this run-and-shoot offense when the personnel is unathletic and can't shoot? coach major needs to slow things down and teach these guys to wait for the open shot.
if major wants a run-and-gun offense, he's going to have to wait a few years until he can get the right players in place. until then, slow down and find a shot!
Going be a long season!We need new recruits now!!I want a big man with an inside game & defense!I hate the 3 point game!!!
WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!!!!
no heart. no passion. no team.
HOWS THAT COACHING CHANGE WORKING OUT FOR YOU
sad, sad, sad...
it will take two or three seasons to have a decent team
NinerNation is imploding.
I'm waiting for them to start talking about their "bada$$" recruits they're getting in next year, how they beat NC State in their own tourney (while neglecting that NCState owned them where it counted), the fights with one another on who is a "real" 49er fan, how the Observer gives them lack of coverage, their trip to the final four in 77 and their favorite thing to do...talk about Carolina Basketball.
Charlotte took care of business tonight.
Hey! Hey! Hey! You on the otherside of the Halton arena. I know you're lonely sitting up there by yourself. Do what? I can't hear you for the echo of the bouncing ball in this empty arena. It's deafening.
Rhode Island is leaving the CAA. Will Charlotte be joining Georgia St & ODU to put the CAA at 12 teams?
