Charlotte 49ers Set to Host East Carolina Pirates at Dale F. Halton Arena

As the Charlotte 49ers prepare to welcome the East Carolina Pirates to the Dale F. Halton Arena, fans are anticipating an exciting matchup. The 49ers have been showing a strong performance trend, as evidenced by their recent games.

In their last home game against Greensboro Pride, the 49ers demonstrated offensive prowess with a commanding victory of 91 points against Pride's 44. Their shooting was particularly impressive, with field goal and free throw percentages at approximately 55 percent and 80 percent respectively. Dominating both halves, they also excelled in assists with a ratio of seven assists per turnover and capitalized on turnovers scoring a staggering 39 points off them.


However, in their away game against Richmond Spiders, despite having more rebounds (40 compared to Spiders' 35), the team struggled with field goal accuracy at only about 35 percent and lost by eight points. Turnovers were also an issue as they gave up five points from turnovers compared to Spiders' more efficient conversion for twenty-one points.


Another away game saw them face Duke Blue Devils where they scored consistently across both halves but ultimately fell short by twenty-four points. Their three-point percentage dropped significantly in this match-up to just around twenty percent.


The upcoming game is crucial for maintaining momentum at home where they've shown strength especially in scoring off turnovers and assist-to-turnover ratio which could be key factors against East Carolina Pirates.


Fans can catch this thrilling encounter on February third at seven PM Eastern Time live from Dale F. Halton Arena in Charlotte or tune into ESPNU channel two hundred eight for national television coverage.
