SoCon Dork Tour- ECU at UNCG

After enduring two Wildcat losses, it was time for a stress-free stop on the tour. It was the first hoops game for JAM, son of dorp. Mrs. Dorp was also in attendance. She is an ECU grad, so while I generally root for SoCon teams in out-of-conference play, I had to pull for the Pirates.

The Spartans jumped out to a quick 10 point lead, and had a lead as large as 15 early on. Apparently Saddler was lighting it up, but I wasn't paying attention in particular to the stats. The 34 points for Saddler was good enough to have him listed at the top of ESPN.com's top performers, although in a losing effort was much like Steph's night in MSG last season.

Not a chance the beer will be $2 at the Davidson game on 1/18/14.

Yes, that's a Pirate on his shirt.

I'm putting my name in for the Davidson banner at the coliseum.

As it came down to crunch time, it was a mistake by Saddler which cost the Spartans the game... A long pass attempt downcourt which was intercepted.
