Charlotte is playing such an inspired brand of hard-nosed basketball that the school removed the interim tag from coach Aaron Fearne, who played and coached professionally in Australia. The 49ers' only loss in the past 11 games was a three-point defeat at conference leader South Florida. The 49ers are relishing the fact they were picked 13th in the 14-team league. Wichita State, on the other hand, has yet to win a conference road game. The Shockers were playing tough on the road until a total collapse at East Carolina on Thursday. Wichita State continues to struggle from deep, ranking 304th in 3-point percentage (30.7). Lay the points.
