// Box Score (PDF) CHARLOTTE - The host Charlotte 49ers took a nine-point halftime lead and held it together for an 82-66 win over Southern Miss inside Halton Arena on Saturday night. The 49ers gained a 16-point lead, but seven consecutive Southern Miss points forced a timeout with 13 minutes left in the game after the 65-second fury. Those buckets came via layups by Quinton Campbell and Michael Ramey after a Khari Price triple from the top of the key. Charlotte took its largest lead of the early going at the 8:56 mark, going up by 12.
