It would have been one of the biggest upsets of the season if the East Carolina Pirates had waltzed into BB&T Arena and shut down the No. 12 Cincinnati Bearcats’ then 35-game winning streak at home. Of course, the closest that came to happening was when the Pirates were knocking down shots at a better than 60 percent clip in the early going. From there, the Bearcats’ talent just washed over the court and sunk the Pirates.
One of the areas that the Bearcats most dominated, other than the scoreboard, was the glass. Gary Clark and his 14 rebounds — part of his 25th career double-double — were not where it stopped.
