The first half of the game was a tough period for the Charlotte 49ers as they trailed behind with only 20 points compared to the Catamounts' 31. However, as the second half unfolded, it was evident that the tide was turning. The Charlotte team made an extraordinary comeback by adding an additional 45 points to their score while holding their opponents to just 25 points in this half.


The statistics reveal how intense and closely fought this match was. Both teams secured a total of 32 rebounds each; however, it was in shooting precision where differences could be noted. The home team had an exceptional free throw percentage at nearly ninety percent making seventeen out of nineteen attempts which played a crucial role in their victory.


Moreover, three-point shots were falling for the home team as they achieved thirty-six percent accuracy from beyond the arc compared to just fifteen percent by their opponents. This sharpshooting added eight three-pointers to their tally contributing significantly to their overall score.


Defensively, both teams were on par with each other; however, steals and assists turnover ratio slightly favored the home side who managed six steals and had an assists turnover ratio of about one point three compared to four steals and less than one assist per turnover for Western Carolina.


The offensive efforts by Western Carolina were notable too; they dominated inside scoring thirty-eight points in paint but struggled from distance which ultimately affected their chances of securing a win against a determined Charlotte side.


Looking ahead after this hard-fought victory, fans can anticipate another exciting matchup as the Charlotte 49ers are scheduled to face off against Milwaukee Panthers on March twenty at ten fifty PM Eastern Time at Ocean Center once again. This upcoming game will be available for viewing on FloSports network via internet broadcast ensuring fans won't miss any action from what promises to be another engaging contest on court.
