East Carolina’s Offense Impressed

East Carolina knew they probably wouldn’t be tested all that much in the first game, and they weren’t. East Carolina faced off against NC Wesleyan, a non-D1 team and they dominated it. East Carolina scored 97 points while the defense gave up 70 points and they ended up winning by 27 points. As a team the Pirates shot 52.4 percent from the field and 50 percent from the field. The offense was good, but the defense did give up 70 points and they are going to need to clear that up. RJ Felton had a strong game putting up 22 points, four rebounds, and one assist. There were four different players that put up at least 10 points. 

Why East Carolina Will Beat Coastal Carolina

• Coastal Carolina has lost eight of its last nine games following a home win.
• East Carolina has won 15 of its last 17-day games at Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum following a home win.
• East Carolina has won the first half in three of its last four home day games against non-conference opponents.

Coastal Carolina Tested

While East Carolina dominated the first game, Coastal Carolina was really tested in the first game. Coastal Carolina scored 60 points against Western Michigan and the defense made the stops as they were able to secure the four-point victory. RaSheed Jones had a strong game putting up 15 points, two rebounds, and one assist. There were four different players that put up at least seven points. The defense made the stops, but the offense is going to need to be a whole lot better. If the defense struggles, this could be a bad game. 

Coastal Carolina vs East Carolina Prediction

Coastal Carolina was tested in the last game and even though the defense was good, the bigger concern to me is the way the offense played. The offense only managed 60 points, and that type of offense isn’t going to be enough to keep this game close. East Carolina’s offense is going to have no issue running up the score early again, and they will cruise. Back East Carolina against the spread.
