The East Carolina women’s basketball team heads into its American Athletic Conference opener seeking a fresh start.
Although the Pirates bring a 6-6 record into tonight’s 8 p.m. (EST) game at Tulsa, they are on a five-game losing streak and haven’t won since Nov. 27. Tulsa is also struggling at 3-8 overall and 2-5 in its last seven games.
ECU’s record is boosted by a hot start — the Pirates won their first five games mainly against inferior opponents — but defense has been an issue against quality opponents. Recent results include yielding 91 points to Creighton, 83 to Auburn and 88 to No.
