Five Niners scored in double figures as head coach Bobby Lutz became the 49ers all-time winningest coach in Charlotte's 17-point victory -- their largest margin of victory in A-10 action, this year.
MACK ATTACK: Junior Lamont Mack has led the 49ers in scoring in the last three games, posting a pair of 20+ outings, including a career-best 27 at Richmond, last Wednesday. In those three games (20.7 ppg), Mack is shooting .606 from the field (20-33) and .588 from three-point range (10-17). Mack has scored in double figures in 12 of the last 14 games and is averaging 14.7 points in A-10 play.
LUTZ PASSES MULLINS AS ALL-TIME WINNINGEST COACH: With 183 wins as the 49ers head coach, Bobby Lutz has passed Jeff Mullins as the 49ers all-time winningest coach. Jeff Mullins, a former Duke all-America who won a gold medal on the 1964 US Olympic team before a stellar NBA career that included a World Championship with the 1976 Golden State Warriors, posted a 182-142 record in 11 years with the 49ers (1986-96). Lutz owns a 183-123 record in 10 years as the 49er head coach.
30-KARAT GOLD: Leemire Goldwire has posted five games of 30 or more points, including recent back-to-back efforts: career-high 39 at St. Bonaventure; 31 vs. #12/#13 Xavier. He owns the A-10's top four single-game scoring efforts. His five 30-point games are the most by a 49er in one season since 1990-91, when Henry Williams set a school-record with six games of 30 or more points. This is only the fifth time in school history that a player has boasted five or more games of 30+ points in one season and the sixth time a player has posted 30+ in back-to-back games.
Lee's Top 4: Leemire Goldwire owns the top four single-game scoring efforts in the A-10 this season:
1.) 39 at St. Bonaventure (8-13 3FG; 7-7 FT) - car. high
2.) 36 vs. Saint Joseph's (7-15 3FG)
3.) 34 vs. Davidson (9-of-20 3FG)
4.) 33 vs. Appalachian State (12-14 FT)
CLOSE CALLS: 20 of Charlotte's 26 games have been decided by seven points or less (10-10); 11 have been decided by 4 points or less: 5-6. The 49ers last three losses were by a combined seven points. Charlotte's 11 losses are by a combined 50 points (4.5/game). Ten of Charlotte's losses are by seven points or less, only one loss is by double figures (at Tulsa). Charlotte has won five games by double figures, including Southern Illinois (+15), at #18/#19 Clemson (+10) and Saint Louis (+17, 49ers highest margin in A-10 play). Charlotte has only trailed by double figures in four games and only given up five runs of 10 or more straight points, this season
