East Carolina

Game is Saturday at 12 PM EST on ESPNU.

ECU is 10-17 overall and 2-12 in AAC play. They started conference play on a 6 game losing streak, won 2 in a row, and are now on another 6 game losing streak. We lost there last year 50-46. Gross. Good news (maybe) is that ECU has only held 1 AAC opponent under 60 in their last 23 games.

ECU is #216 in KenPom...#193 in AdjO, #228 in AdjD, and #215 in AdjT.

No clue on this spread. I feel like it might be lower than we think, like -9.

UC 64
ECU 58

We need to come out with a ton of energy. ECU gave SMU a pretty good little battle on SMU's home floor on Sunday.


I think we win by 10 but we need come out firing. Lets keep this momentum rolling.

And if we get a lead, lets step on their throats and not just sub in our 2nd string. We need to utterly dominate to keep this momentum high

FYI they play @Tulane tomorrow.

Besides winning the game would love to see Cobb find his stroke. Without some consistent scoring from the 2 we will not go far in either tourney.

It would be great to see them play loose n get a big lead, then play with the lineup using JJ and DeBerry significant minutes

if shaq ankle fine wouldnt evans starting at 2 if cobb dont find his shot be our best shot at winning any tourny? Or evans just has to play SF because he's taller than kj and cobb?

if we have lead I'll like mick tweak rosters and have deberry/jj play with starters

shaq has a groin injury. Even if healthy I don't see him getting lots of minutes

"Farad Cobb (sprained knee) and Shaq Thomas (groin) both questionable for #UC game at ECU Saturday, coach Mick Cronin said"

Did I miss Cobb getting hurt in the UCONN game or did this occur in practice?

honestly though, when Farad is not on his game (which he hasn't been lately), I'd rather KJ play.


Teams has figured out that farad is useless when you put a big guard on him.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Looks like Farad probably won't play, if Shaq is limited we are going to need minutes from Quadri and Jenifer or we are really down to a 6 man rotation of Caupain, Johnson, Evans, Clark, Ellis and DeBerry. Wow that's scary.

Source???

Straight from him coach Chad. Shouldn't you know these things coach???

Cobb, UC’s third-leading scorer at 10.8 points per game, was in uniform during pre-practice drills Thursday. Practices are not open to the media, but Cobb indicated he probably would not do much more than watch. A reporter asked Cobb if he could play Saturday.

“Very small possibility, but probably not,” Cobb said.

Cobb said he was hurt near the end of the UConn game, while taking a charge.
