so we are under dogs to ECU. Wow.

I'm shocked.  You guys must REALLY suck because we suck.  You should win by at least 10.  All you have to do is make us shoot 3's and FT's.  We are dreadful at both.

Yeah well if your name wasn't JerseyPirate I would think you were talking about USF.  Our men's basketball program will be good someday.

we do suck...... story of USF basketball.... but to be an underdog to ECU is embarassing to the Big East. hopefully we can pull this one out.

Man, this could be a big pillow fight tonight with both teams struggling. May the worse team lose tonight. Playing at ECU's place is no easy task if I recall from back in the C-USA days. ECU upset some top C-USA teams at that rowdy arena, so I just hope USF can escape with a win tonight.

The only thing that's embarassing is your posts. We're on the road, so we're not going to be a favorite.  We're 5-1 and playing without 2 guys who are going to start after this game is played, so we're right where we should be at this point. We have beaten a pretty good Buffalo team by a considerable margin, so it not fair to say that we "suck". We have looked off the last couple of games, but we will break out of that soon enough.

You haven't been around long enough to see how poor this program has been. We had some pretty dreadful teams in Coach Paschal's first couple of seasons and Seth's teams were too predictable and underachieved all those years. While all you McCullum haters point to his record, he has shown the ability to beat Top 25 teams and get us within 2 wins of the NCAA tournament without having a full roster of players. We're a week away from getting that.

you're fighting a losing battle, flip.

these people expect usf to become a powerhouse in basketball overnight....IN the hardest conference in the nation.

We'll make the Big East tournament and the NIT, and everyone around ehre will be pissed cause we didnt make it to the Sweet 16.

[Velcro]

I think part of the line is due to the fact that we always seemed to get beat by ECU when in CUSA.  I don't know why, but they always seemed to have our number (under Seth).  Mac won the last 2 matchups though.

Also included in that line is our poor performance in the last 3 games.  If we break out of our attrocious shooting slump, this game will be a blowout.  If not... ????

Some might say USF is to the Big East, what you are to this board.

Have a little character.
