Charlotte 49ers Outlast Murray State in Double Overtime

In a thrilling matchup at the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu, the Charlotte 49ers edged out the Murray State Racers 94-90 in a double-overtime game on Monday night. This consolation bracket game saw both teams put up a fierce battle, with several players standing out for their impressive performances.

Nik Graves of the Charlotte 49ers had a career-high night, scoring 31 points and going a perfect 12 for 12 from the free-throw line. Giancarlo Rosado also had a career-best performance, contributing 23 points off the bench. Rosado's clutch 3-pointer with one second left in regulation forced the game into overtime, tying it at 71. Robert Braswell IV added 11 points to the 49ers' tally.
