It’s the series tiebreaker and a rematch of the 2009 C-USA Championship Game.
At .500 midway through the season, this East Carolina team is on track for its best finish since its inaugural season in the AAC in 2014. The Pirates haven’t gone bowling in quite some time, but they will have the opportunity to move one step closer and notch the greatest win of the Mike Houston era Saturday... in Houston. The Cougars are on their longest win streak since 2018 with five consecutive victories in the books, and they attack with one of the most ferocious defenses in the country.
