Led by Anton Bonke's 17 points, the Charlotte 49ers defeated the Division II Shaw Bears 83-79

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Anton Bonke - Dominates with double-double Bonke posted 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes during Sunday's 83-79 victory over Shaw.

Impact The 7-2 junior from Vanuatu had his fourth double-double in six games. He has blocked 13 shots in his last five games. He is converting 68.8 percent of his field goals and is averaging 13.2 points and a American Conference-leading 10.7 rebounds. It will be interesting to see if this kind of production translate in conference play.

Kasen Jennings sinks winner, scores 15 as Appalachian State edges Charlotte 65-63

Kasen Jennings scored the game-winning jump shot with two seconds left and racked up 15 total points to lead the Appalachian State Mountaineers past the Charlotte 49ers 65-63

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • Associated Press

Ben Bradford - Scores team-high 18 Bradford totaled 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 65-63 loss to App State.

Impact Bradford opened the season with a career-high 31 points in the win over Indiana State, but had scored just a combined 35 points on 33.3 percent from the field (12-of-36) in the previous three games. He is at his best when he is attacking the basket and not settling for long-range shots. Maybe he'll find more success against another Missouri Valley team on Thursday against Illinois State.

Anton Bonke - Continues to clean glass Bonke logged 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks across 24 minutes during Sunday's 84-76 loss to Virginia Tech.

Impact Bonke had his third double-double in four games. He was somewhat limited by foul trouble, but it appears he will get close to 30 minutes when not limited by fouls. The 7-2 junior has 10 blocks in his last three games. It was great to see him be productive against a team like Virginia Tech, which bodes well for American Conference play.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Damoni Harrison - Scores 18 in loss Harrison supplied 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 84-76 loss to Virginia Tech.

Impact The 6-4 senior scored just four points in the first two games, but has been a factor off the bench in the last two games with a combined 31 points. He has nailed six 3-pointers in that span. For the 49ers to be competitive in American Conference play, they will need bench scorers like Harrison to produce.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jarne Elouna Eyenga - Sits out with wrist injury Elouna Eyenga sat out Saturday's loss to Virginia Tech with a wrist injury, The Mineshaft reports.

Impact The 6-10 freshman was limited to 11 minutes in the loss against Davidson on Tuesday after playing 24 minutes in both of the first two games. Ethan Butler started in Elouna Eyenga's place. The Belgian forward is averaging 5.0 points and 4.7 rebounds. He could return Friday against Appalachian State.

Adam scores 16 off the bench, Davidson beats Charlotte 62-55

Hunter Adam scored 16 points off of the bench to help lead the Davidson Wildcats past the Charlotte 49ers 62-55 on Tuesday

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • Associated Press

Anton Bonke - Puts up double-double Bonke accumulated 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 62-55 loss to Davidson.

Impact Bonke has played like a man possessed in the early season with the 49ers. Through three games, he has a pair of double-doubles with averages of 11.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks. The 7-2 Providence transfer is clearly the main man in the Charlotte frontcourt and might be a factor in the American Conference regular season play.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Major Freeman - Scores team-high 17 Freeman recorded 17 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one block in 31 minutes during Friday's 70-65 victory over Tennessee Tech.

Impact The Siena transfer averaged 13.0 points with the Saints in 2024-25, but hit just 30.2 percent of his 3-pointers. Freeman has shown improved range in the early season with the 49ers. Through two games, he has hit six of his first 10 3-pointers and has put up 17 points in both games. While the 6-3 senior won't continue to hit 66.7 percent of his field goals, he should put up big scoring numbers for Charlotte.

Bradford scores 31 as Charlotte downs Indiana State 92-76

The Charlotte 49ers defeated the Indiana State Sycamores 92-76 on Monday led by Ben Bradford's 31 points

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Ben Bradford - Scores career-high 31 points Bradford had 31 points (10-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 92-76 win over Indiana State.

Impact Bradford appeared off the bench in 25 games last year as a freshman for the 49ers. He provided 2.5 points in 8.5 minutes with a high of 13 points. The 6-5 guard put on weight over the summer and looks ready to provide the team with a fine scoring punch.
