Salukis Regroup, Prepare for Charlotte

Coming off of consecutive losses the Salukis continue their grueling non-conference schedule with a trip to Charlotte this week. The 49ers are riding high after a win against Wake Forest and will host Davidson on Wednesday night. Looks like the Niners aren't afraid of a little competition either.

There's not much left to say about the last two losses. Southern didn't hit open shots against Indiana and that's a big reason why they lost... sometimes it's just that simple. The good news is this team has some very talented offensive players and guys like Matt Shaw and Josh Bone will bounce right back.

USC and Indiana are top flight teams so dropping a couple of game to these teams in November won't matter much when the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee makes their picks in March. What is important is how this team responds to adversity and in that regard we will find out a lot about this team on Saturday.

Over at the TheSouthern.com Robert Crow notes the Salukis aren't doing the 'Small Things'.

On the Daily Egyptian's website Sean McGahan writes 'Floorburn U' needs a makeover.

You can sound off on your thoughts about the Charlotte game at SalukiTalk in the Official Charlotte Pregame Thread.
