The best team ECU has played this season is Cincinnati and they lost by 12. The Pirates will be down more than that by the end of the 1st qtr.

Huskies win 106 - 48

Walker to have double-digit points...Coombs to get double digit minutes...Danger to get double-digit assists.

And...the team enjoys the mid-Atlantic/Florida weather by waiting to return to Storrs till Monday to get ready for January 9 home game.

103-46, good guys. Meg continues to impress. Most frequent scoring combo of the game--high/low, Z to Phee.

UConn has a scare in this game -literally and figuratively. As they enter the court they see the ECU pirate and think there is some sort of illegal activity going on. By the time they realize he is only the mascot, they are quite shaken. They recover by halftime after some time with therapy dog (Jonathon). The second half goes smoother and normality returns.

UConn 98
ECU 13

Completely implausible. UConn Huskies scared of pirates (or anything??).

So we won last year against ECU, 90-45 and 91-44.

ECU has 228 offensive rebounds, or 16.3 per game. By contrast, we average 11.2. In part it is due to their horrendous shooting, 38.5% from the field overall and only 26% from three. Commit a lot of fouls, 346 or 24.7 per game (we average 13.4), and force a lot of turnovers, 324 or 23.1 per game (we force 17.7 per game). Stats indicate they play a sloppy, physical game.

RPI is 260 and strength of schedule an anemic 317 out of 349 teams. Yuck.

We will do a little better this year, 96-42. Let`s check the box and move on.

I see a lot of time for the reserves in the second half. While they hold there own, I don't see them extending the lead while they are in. 98 - 48 Huskies.

If my memory is correct, last year this was a very chippy game on ECU's part..............their play went way beyond simply being physical so I really am less concerned with the score then with all UConn players finishing the game unhurt....................

I predict Heather Macy will get a technical (as per usual) and the Huskies will win but we may have a few black eyes.

ECU is a very physical team - I believe overly physical. I'm concerned that as/if the game gets out of hand, they will resort to pushing, banging and hard fouls. I pray no one on our team is injured. Having said that....

UCONN 100
ECU 47

This could be tough. I don't believe ECU has any starters returning, they aren't very tall, and they don't shoot very well.

However, they are Pirates. And Pirates steal upon their prey with catlike tread. They will seek a penalty 50-fold. I really can't see how the Huskies can survive this.

The Pirates of Greenville 61-58.
