CHARLOTTE (3-5) at CHATTANOOGA (4-5)

McKenzie Arena, Chattanooga, Tenn., 1 p.m.

Mocs’ 6-10 forward Makinde London leads the team in scoring (14.5 points a game) and rebounding (7.9) and could be a problem for the 49ers, who have struggled with big opponents. The 49ers hit only 31.9 percent from the floor in their one-sided loss Tuesday to Wake Forest.
