LuDawg knows East Carolina and he says...

Good luck, Weasie.  I think it will move more before the tip.  The line is off.

I can see a 27 point game at the half.

As much as I love them, the Pirates are everything Tennessee is absolutely not.

1)  Slow all over the floor
2)  No shooters (Abrams has been a disaster this year 0 for last 12 from the floor)
3)  No defense
4)  Zero intensity
5)  The offense is COMPLETELY lost
6)  Ridiculous turnovers

Tennessee is the opposite of all of those things. 

Coach Mac just said he and several others on the team were sick on the flight down.

Coach Mac already making excuses for the stomping saying "Tennessee is just ridiculously good, we're excited to just be here.  They don't have a weakness.  They're fantastic.  Wake Forrest was tall, but they weren't unbelieveable athletically.  Tennessee is deep and unbelieveable athletically.  The key for the Pirates is we have to handle their pressure, we have to find a way to get the ball down the floor.  That will require risks, I expect some turnovers.  We're going to try to have fun."

Sounds like a defeated man.

Game will be played on the campus of The University of the Virgin Islands.

Wish I went to school there!
