Longwood (4-0, 3-0 D1) at Charlotte (1-2) – 7:00 PM EST (C-USA TV)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to Halton Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina where the 49ers will play host to the unbeaten Longwood Lancers. This is the first time that Longwood has started 3-0 against Division I competition (including a win at Richmond) since their transition from Division II. It could be an omen of good things to come – during their time in D-2, Longwood qualified for the NCAA Tournament on 2 occasions when they won their first four games of the season. Isaiah Walton has averaged 21 points per game (including 4 straight 20-point games) and 7.5 rebounds a game for the Lancers so far.
The 49ers have had one moment in the sun so far with a buzzer-beater at home against Oklahoma State, but that has been sandwiched between home losses to Chattanooga and James Madison. Jon Davis is averaging 26 points a game for Charlotte, but unfortunately does not have any teammates at the moment who average even 9 points a game for the 49ers.
