Charlotte is coming into this game with a 1-0 record this season after beating Maine 69-52 at home in their 1st game of the season. Charlotte finished last season with a 22-14 record overall but they were only 9-11 in their conference as they struggled more in those games. Most of their wins last season came against weaker teams they played in their non-conference games and they are already at a bit more of a disadvantage in these non-conference games this season with less than 55% of their minutes played and less than 50% of their scoring returning from last year. They are going up against a Liberty team that is also 1-0 this season after winning their 1st game of the year against MACU 103-43. Liberty played very well in that game to win by 60 points despite playing a much weaker team and they were a very good team last season as they were 27-9 overall and 15-3 in their conference. They were also great in their neutral site games last year with 2 wins by double digits and their only loss coming against a Big 10 school in Northwestern. Liberty is also returning close to 65% of their minutes played as well as over 55% of their scoring so they are in a much better position here to start their season strong. Liberty will cover the spread in this game.
