With the AD and possible other pressers coming out of ECU @ 4pm today it sure would be a great night cap to get the W in mens hoops tonight.

PURPLE!

Gold.

***********

Tight game at the half.

Tulane points in the paint 30-12. We can't stop anybody from taking it inside. 9 point lead gone.

11 point lead gone... and Kemp getting scored on by a 6-2 guy 1 on 1. Ouch.

88-85 Pirates... Paint it Purple! By the skin of our teeth.

YOU CAN PAINT THIS ONE PURPLE!

First round bye!

If we had interior defense we would be in the top 25, sadly it's atrocious.

The Minges Maniacs had some special guys join them. Chancellor Ballard, Coach Holland, Coach Ruff, and AD Compher.

14-28 from 3... 50% from 3 really helps when your big guys are getting owned.

we suck and need a new coach but he's won 4 more conf games so we'll give him an extension sigh

I wouldn't say you suck. I know ECU is not a big name in college basketball but we have played decent this year. It was a tough loss that could have gone either way. Tulane will be a tough out in the tournament and anyone who sleeps on them is going to be sorry.

Tough game.

I got some shots of TH and Compher hangin' with the Maniacs!

No the sad thing is we could have been a NCAA Bubble/NIT team if Lebo had played Richmond all year. That's 21ppg in 27 minutes a game in the last 6 games since injuries forced him to start playing him more. Hell if not for 2 season ending injuries we he's probably still playing 14 minutes a game and we have 2 or 3 more losses. That's what's sad. Wasting a talent like that on the bench all year while we lost close games to UNC, Campbell, UMass, etc while he was blazing hot and barely got off the bench. This is the same coach that had Kemp on the bench last year too despite playing like a stud then too. We litterly have pissed away talent all year. When you got a guy averaging 21ppg in 27 minutes over a 6 game stretch and it took injuries to get him off the bench as our 9th man it's a joke.

There is a reason SJ is on ignore. I gotta stop clicking show post anyway

Badass. I'm the dude on the left side of Ruff throwin up the hook. Thanks a bunch for this picture!!!

yea, but 2 of those came against Rice who was mauled by transfers and just is non-competitive for the most part. Net improvement is really 1 win.
We played well tonight, but didn't make the plays when it counted (like making free throws). ECU's had a nice conference season and earned a bye in the tourney. I hope we can somehow stay out of Memphis' bracket, but we may not.

Nice Game Pirates. Pulled another one out. Nice Game Green Wave as well. Next up: Marshall on Saturday. It would be nice to knock off the Herd at home and get that 18th win.
