The Bearcats (16-9 [8-5 AAC], NET #75, KenPom #62) continue their AAC farewell tour as they travel to Greenville one last time to take on East Carolina (12-12 [3-8 AAC], NET #219, KenPom #213). The Pirates’ most recent game at Tulane was canceled over the weekend due to the sudden passing of long-time radio announcer Jeff Charles. There is no plan in place yet for this game to be replayed.

Since our 83-55 home win over ECU on January 11th, the Pirates are 2-4 with their only wins coming at home against Tulsa (76-66) and SMU (77-72). 6’3 sophomore guard RJ Felton, who only had 6 points on 2-8 shooting in our first match-up, has emerged as the team’s top scoring option over the past 4 games averaging 20.3 ppg.

ECU is the worst shooting team in the league through the first two-thirds of conference play (38.4% FG) and also has the league’s worst 3-point defense where they’ve allowed AAC opponents to hit 36.4% of their shots from deep. On the plus side, they lead the league in offensive rebounding at 11.3/game.

The Bearcats are 9.5-point favorites on the road.
 
In the home matchup we made 14 of 26 threes, an insane 54%. Probably can't count on that again. We only got to the rim 14 times and settled for 25 midrange jumpers. It would be nice to have better shot selection against a poor defense. ECU has given up more than a point per possession in their last 7 games. While their offensive rebounding has been good this year (#31 nationally), we held ECU to their lowest OReb rate of the season. Hopefully we can dominate the boards again.
 
The difference between Kenpom and Torvik is really large for this late in the season. We're all the way up to #35 on Torvik but still down at #62 on Kenpom. I suspect this has to do with how blowouts are handled. Our biggest jump on Torvik was from 66 to 51 after winning by 16 at USF. Prior to that we improved 9 spots after beating ECU by 28. Our biggest drop was from 66 to 88 after losing to OSU by 28. I'm guessing Kenpom discounts high margins more, similar to NET.
 
Davenport with one of the best halves of his career.

-11 on the boards though which is completely unacceptable.
 
4:50 this is when Coach needs to coach!

I don't know why every team doesn't iso DDJ with a bigger guard. Temple does it every time we play them. ECU did it almost every possession in the last 10 minutes. We don't do anything to stop it.

say it with me; wes...milller....isn't....a.....good....coach.

He's the basketball version of Butch Jones.
 
Looks like ECU scored 26 points on the last 14 possessions of the game. That's 1.9 points per possession. Would be over 130 points in a typical 69 possession game. Incredible.

We scored 6 points in that span.
 
Landers Nolley strikes again. Insult the home crowd and team on their court and then when it comes time to put up or shut up, fall flat on your face. I see why Penney probably held the door for him on the way out. He is not a leader in any way shape or form and only showboats for himself.

Terrible take again. If landers is the problem then every other player on this team is worthless. No one shows up to play, ddj and Davenport only player hero ball, ody has hands of stone, maw is a ghost, and that’s pretty much all we have. Blaming the only halfway consistent player is the dumbest take I’ve seen on this board since bulldog.

Wes is the real problem.
 
I wanted Brannen to take him. But I really pray when Miller gets fired he takes Gametime21 with him. Before everybody ran to his board UC basketball was jumping on internet before social media. Once he seen greed he took advantage of UC fans and tradition. Now look at all the boards. Only one jumps and you have pay.
 
It was either we get Isiah Miller, keep Keith Williams, or sign McMillan for me get behind Wes hire. He didn't do neither and simply can't coach. He need give Isiah 25% of his salary annually because with him its slow for Wes.
