This should be a closely contested game as these two teams are nearly even in the Conference USA standings and playing for tournament seeding. 
Florida International outscores Charlotte by nearly eight points a game and forces the most turnovers in Conference USA. Turning the ball over is a weakness for Charlotte. The 49ers have scored fewer than 69 points in four of their last six games and are going to have problems scoring inside facing the Panthers' ace shot blocker Osasumwen Osaghae.  
I also like the Panthers having revenge motivation for a blowout loss suffered to the 49ers on Jan. 25.
