Charlotte 49ers Score First Home Win Against Top 25 Opponent in 14 Years

Lu’Cye Patterson's Last-Second Free Throws Secure 70-68 Victory Over No. 17 Florida Atlantic

Charlotte 49ers defeated No. 17 Florida Atlantic 70-68, marking their first home win against an AP Top 25 opponent in 14 years.
Lu’Cye Patterson of the 49ers scored 16 points and sealed the victory with two free throws with 1.7 seconds left.
Florida Atlantic nearly pulled off a comeback with a full-court pass ending up in Nick Boyd’s hands, but his 3-point attempt from the corner barely rimmed out as time expired.
Johnell Davis had 20 points and Boyd had 19 for Florida Atlantic, which has lost two of its last three games.
Charlotte's last win over a ranked team was on Jan. 27, 2010, when they knocked off No. 15 Temple 56-51.
