After dropping their first loss of the season to West Virginia on Saturday, the Hoos have a quick turnaround as they welcome the East Carolina Pirates to JPJ this evening. Tonight’s game is the last game before Virginia’s exam break.
ECU is a middling team out of the American Athletic Conference (AAC), and shouldn’t really give the Hoos much trouble. They’re a decent defensive team, but they are going to have trouble scoring against the Pack Line. They are a big team, which has given the Hoos trouble over the past two games, but they aren’t nearly as talented as OSU and WVU.
