Bobby Lutz Day at Charlotte 49ers Basketball
This Saturday, February 8, the Charlotte 49ers Men's Basketball team will honor legendary coach Bobby Lutz during their game against Rice, marking "Bobby Lutz Day." The event is part of Alumni Reunion Weekend and will feature a special ceremony at halftime where Lutz's name and image will be raised in Halton Arena, recognizing his status as the winningest coach in program history with 218 victories, five NCAA Tournament appearances, and three conference championships. The 49ers, currently 8-15 overall and 1-9 in the American Athletic Conference, will face the Owls after a previous loss to them this season. Fans can catch the game live and follow along via radio, while also contributing to a local charitable initiative with each assist made by the team. As they prepare for this emotional tribute, the 49ers also look to improve their standings in the conference.
