Yes, But

Memphis is described as one of the conference’s best, but its loss to Tulane suggests it may be vulnerable. ECU’s challenge is generating enough offense to capitalize.

What’s Next

ECU will try to turn the road matchup into a bounce-back win. The preview show will also discuss what the result could mean for the Pirates’ final regular-season record.

Bottom Line

Both teams are coming off losses, but ECU’s chances hinge on whether it can produce enough offense against a strong Memphis team.
