East Carolina Rushes the Court After Covering Spread

The Pirates of East Carolina rushed the court yesterday, after losing 77-57 to Memphis and covering the 21.5 point spread. Memphis took a quick 23 point lead, which resulted in a nail biter for the remainder of the game. As the second half came to an end and each point got more important, each team put in their worst players, almost as if they didn't care about the point spread. A basket by some random guy on East Carolina that nobody has ever heard of scored the winning basket to lower the deficit to less than 21.5 points.

The covering of the spread was a huge accomplishment for a team like East Carolina, who is building their program to cover spreads more often against teams like Memphis. The covering of the spread will do wonders for the team, as recruits know they're just as good as the odds makers make them out to be.
