Charlotte beats Richmond 59-54 for A10 title (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Shannon McCallum scored 22 points and Charlotte captured its first conference title in school history by rallying to beat Richmond 59-54 on Monday in the Atlantic 10 championship game. Never in their stints in the Sun Belt, Metro or Conference USA did the 49ers reach a league tournament final, and they were bounced out in the first round in their first three years in the A10.
