You may have heard we're a pretty good team; we have a freshman guard who's okay, a senior guard coming off some surgery of sorts, an "undersized" power forward who led last year's team in scoring and rebounds, and I hear we have a center who's reasonably tall. Our coach is okay, he's won a few games in his day.
With the season opening tomorrow, I figured I'd give you a little preview of Western Kentucky-I mean Western Carolina.
Pirates football started the year, with wins over (vastly over-) ranked Virginia Tech and West Virginia. Led by an efficient, but unspectacular quarterback in Patrick Pinkney and a ferocious pass rush (5 sacks against the aforementioned VT and WVU) they rose in the polls before dropping three straight to NC State, Houston, and UVA. Head Coach Skip Holtz, once mentioned as a candidate for (hypothetical) openings at Penn State and Clemson and a very real opening at Syracuse, has righted his ship; the Pirates have own another three straight against UCF, Marhsall, and Memphis.
Oh.
Oh wait.
You mean we're playing Western Carolina? That was East Carolina? Damn.
Prop Bet of the Day, Western Carolina-style: Thabeet has more blocks than any WCU player has rebounds.
