-With the win over SMU, ECU assured itself of a winning season for the second time in three years under coach Jeff Lebo. The Pirates had 13 consecutive non-winning seasons prior to his arrival.
-ECU's 4 Conference USA road victories are the most since joining the league
-ECU was won five road games this season, the most since winning five during the 1998-99 campaign.
-Against SMU, ECU came from 17 points down for the second time this season. They were down 17 at home to UCF before rallying for an 88-85 overtime win. The comeback was the largest road deficit overcome in the last 30 years.
-Junior Akeem Richmond set the school-record and tied the CUSA record for 3s in a game with nine against SMU.
We temporarily lose the thorn in our side Memphis next season, but some good programs are joining. Hope we can continue to improve next season and make a run for the NIT at least.
If the season ended today, both ECU Men's & Women's Basketball team would earn first round byes in the C-USA Tournament. We're not the best team by far, but it's nice to not be the cellar-dweller in the league!
Love it..........Pirates Supporting Pirates.........An $18 million upgrade to our basketball facilities and with Coach Lebo as our head coach the sky will be the limit..........Go ECU Pirates!
