RE: Funny/flattering comments off Duke message board about ECU
I heard Mack McCarthy talking about coming back from 20 down early in the year and winning a game at a Chattanooga during his Sweet 16 year and how important that is that the team to have that reference experience to draw on and know that they are never out of a game. He said it was really easy keep them focused and pushing once they had seen it was possible. I'd think playing toe to toe with an elite team and even mounting an 18 point comeback at Duke itself would have been a pretty nice piece to build on confidence wise for this team the rest of the year.

Nope, but after seeing this team a few times I think we can contend for the CUSA championship and or autobid.

Duke hasn't lost a non conference game at home in over 13 years there. As far as most moral victories go, we came out with a lot more respect earned than most teams that leave that place do.

And they still haven't. Congrats on being part of the streak.
Won't you be glad when we're gone? Then you guys can be king of turd mountain. That is until Southern Miss gets back on track, then just another floater.....

Yes, on the morning news, on the local radio, even at my work today all I've heard is how impressive ECU's basketball team was last night. I've never heard this many people talk about ECU bball, not even during our CIT run.
