Reason For Pick:
On paper, this is a very good matchup for Charlotte. The 49ers are doing a phenomenal job of taking care of the basketball. They've had single digit turnovers in each of the last three games, including an overtime loss in one of those. Considering Appalachian State isn't good at forcing turnovers, and are not good at ball security themselves, this should be a game where the 49ers get some extra possessions. Also, worth noting Charlotte is knocking down nearly 80% of their free throws and is hitting a remarkable 47% on threes, and this sets up well against a Mountaineers squad that hasn't defended anything well. Mark Price called the Davidson game on Saturday the 49ers worst offensive performance since he became the head coach last season. If that means they work harder for good shots tonight, it should result in a comfortable win. I'm going to give the points here with Charlotte.
