First Half


The first half saw an impressive start from the home team, with Ben Bradford leading the charge for Charlotte. His performance was instrumental as he contributed significantly to their early lead, showcasing his shooting prowess by hitting crucial three-pointers and maintaining a high field goal percentage. The Niners capitalized on their offensive rebounds and fast break opportunities to establish a strong presence on the court.


However, UTSA's resilience was evident as they managed to keep pace with Charlotte's aggressive playstyle. The Runners' ability to convert points in the paint and maintain an effective field goal percentage allowed them to stay within striking distance throughout this period.


Second Half


As both teams returned for the second half, it became clear that adjustments were made during halftime. The Roadrunners came out with renewed energy and focus, particularly on defense where they increased pressure leading to turnovers by Charlotte players like Damoni Harrison and Raúl Villar.


Despite these challenges, Harrison continued his efforts by contributing key assists that kept his team competitive during this phase of play; however it wasn't enough against UTSA’s relentless attack which saw them take control late into proceedings thanks largely due their bench depth providing crucial points when needed most - ultimately proving decisive factor come final whistle blowing time!


Final Outcome


In conclusion: despite valiant efforts from standout performers such as Bradford who finished game high scorer alongside teammate Arden Conyers’ contributions off bench – including several timely baskets down stretch – unfortunately couldn’t prevent defeat here today against formidable opposition determined not leave empty handed after long journey northwards across state lines!
