Colby was the one defending East Carolina, and he met the obvious objection head on. A host asked what happened when East Carolina played USC Upstate, which turned into a game. Colby said East Carolina still covered that one. Then he addressed last year, when by his account UNC Wilmington beat East Carolina by 25, and said it is a new day and age in Pirate sports.
His case rested on money in the program, an excited crowd and the roster. He said the newcomers make this an easy play and that East Carolina is going to the NCAA tournament. The host who took the home dog added a point of his own: East Carolina brought in a bunch of upperclassmen who were pretty good on their previous teams.
The lone UNC Wilmington backer was unmoved. He said UNC Wilmington is the play, named a UNC Wilmington shooter to watch, expected to be nailing it from behind the arc, and said he was laying the 2.5 on the road.
