Charlotte 49ers Host Coppin State Eagles at Dale F. Halton Arena

As the Charlotte 49ers prepare to welcome the Coppin State Eagles to the Dale F. Halton Arena, fans are gearing up for what promises to be an engaging matchup. The home court advantage is a factor that cannot be overlooked, and with the support of their fans, the 49ers will look to capitalize on their familiar surroundings.

Last season's analytics show a team that was proficient from the field with a solid field goal percentage of 46 percent. Their free-throw shooting was particularly impressive at nearly 79 percent, which could prove pivotal in close game situations. With a true shooting percentage rounding out at 57 percent and three-point shots falling at a rate of about 35 percent, it's clear that Charlotte has multiple offensive threats.


Defensively, they've shown discipline by averaging just over 14 personal fouls per game while also contributing nearly three blocks and five steals per contest – numbers that indicate an active defense capable of disrupting opponents' rhythm.


On average, last season saw them scoring around 70 points per game with contributions across the board: approximately seven made three-pointers and eighteen two-pointers each outing. They also dished out around fourteen assists per game which speaks to their ability to move the ball effectively.


Rebounding has been an area where they've held their own as well; pulling down roughly twenty-nine boards per game provides them with additional possessions and limits opponents' second-chance opportunities.


However, turnovers were something of an Achilles heel for Charlotte last season as they averaged just under twelve giveaways per game – maintaining possession will undoubtedly be key against Coppin State.


The upcoming match is scheduled for November 7th at Dale F. Halton Arena in Charlotte, NC starting from eleven o'clock in the evening local time (23:00). Fans eager not to miss any action can tune into ESPN+ where live coverage will be available.
