OFFICIAL GAME 15 THREAD: SMU vs. ECU

by **Harry0569** » Wed Dec 28, 2016 10:33 am

I'll drop in the statistical comparison after ECU plays USF.

Right now KenPom predicts that we'll win 66-58 (76% win probability). In a nutshell, ECU's offense is anemic and they are one of the worst teams in the nation with turnovers.

Go Ponies!!

We gave them a solid beating our last trip to Greenville in hoops.

Their coach kind of sounds like Phil Bennett I have forgotten more football and all

"I don't know how much motivation it is for them. We play so many games, people forget. It's not like football, where you only play X amount of games. I remember probably more than the kids do, but I'm more concerned about playing the right way. Sharing the ball offensively, making the right plays and defending and rebounding."

I wonder where Dr. Phil will coach next year-he's running ALL OUT of schools

Turn the ball over almost once every four possessions? ON AVERAGE??? There are 351 D-1 teams. So that means 12 teams are even worse than that!!!

TV Note: Looks like game will be on ESPN 3. It's also on MASN, the regional net that carries the Orioles and Nationals.

Thanks!

My guide shows it on CSN Bay Area and one of the CSN Chicago alternates as well.
