Charlotte is coming off of two losing seasons and they've got a new head coach in Mark Price (yes, that Mark Price). Get more info about them, the rivalry and other nuggets of interest right here.

If the Orange win, they play the winner of the game between the Michigan Wolverines and the Connecticut Huskies tomorrow. If they lose, they'll play the loser.

Jim Boeheim, Trevor Cooney and Michael Gbinije met with reporters yesterday. Find out what they had to say.

Michael Burke wonders if the Orange might want to consider changing up the starting lineup considering how Tyler Lydon is playing.

We all seem to think the Orange will win today. See if you agree.
