ECU is most definitely
not a good team. Not even kind of. This team was 6-24 last year, including 1-15 in Conference USA (which itself is not good). They did not notch a conference win until senior night against UTEP, who themselves had a losing record last season. Their previous wins this season came against mighty Limestone, NC Wesleyan, and (somewhat mystifyingly) George Mason. They have lost at home this season to Richmond and Liberty. Liberty couldn't even beat Kentucky!
To top it off, until the other night, ECU's all-time record vs. ACC teams was 0-57 (no, seriously...
0-57). This is an unmitigated embarrassment for State (and the conference, if they're really our 3rd or 4th best team, though they pretty clearly aren't right now). Sidney Lowe should be utterly ashamed of his conduct before the game (there was no reason to be so nervous about a game like that, or any game for that matter), and his team's play during it. Pathetic.
