The East Carolina Pirates are a team that's relied on their defense to win games as this group also stands 7-3 overall ranking 16th in the nation in total defense and 292nd in scoring average. East Carolina has consistently beaten the easier teams on their slate so far in the nonconference, while coming up short against teams like Charlotte, Mercer, and in their last outing on the road against Virginia by a final of 53-76. ECU has three guys averaging in double figures scoring with Caleb White leading the charge averaging 14 points per game. We like the Pirates to come through at home against a rusty Charleston group as they win and cover the spread.
