This may be Jeff Lebo's last game as the Pirate head coach Let the beat down begin.

We can only dream.

Our guys will do their best to help make that a reality.

UC should win, not sure about a blowout though. College hoops can be strange.

It'll be a blowout in front of all 35 people packed in Minges.

Maybe the crowd will be larger since the throngs of ACC Bandwagon fans at ECU have already watched their beloved Holes and Dookies play this week on tv. If I lived in Greenville, I would come out just to see a quality Cincinnati team in person.

Conference road games are never easy. ECU is a bad team, but UC better be ready to play.

If this is within 20 it will be a small miracle.

If it is not a blowout then it really would be strange.

Future is bright for ecu if we can get someone who can develop talent in

Tight game and the Pirates are putting out some good effort to stay in the game.

Given more time Lebo will destroy both Hughes and Sheppard's confidence. Almost every player regresses under Lebo.

Yeah it does seem that way now, but when he first got here it seemed to be different. He got guys like Sherrod and Abrams who looked like complete busts to turn into pretty good players, he got Morrow to make huge strides, and several other examples. He's just overmatched at the AAC level and appears to have completely lost interest.

I give some credit to ECU - they are certainly playing tough. UC always seems to struggle there.

It does seem like White, Tyson, and Barkley have taken steps back. But I do wonder if that falls on the assistants as perhaps Lebo had to focus on the large incoming class.

Oh I think it's very fair to question the assistants also, and the fact that despite being dreadful 3 years in a row he hasn't parted with any of these guys.

It's probably not a coincidence that we haven't been close to decent since Tim Craft left for Gardner Webb.

Sheppard is ready to take over college basketball

It's gotta be tough for Barkley and White, they can't buy a bucket
