Now that East Carolina University has been eliminated from bowl game eligibility and contention, the focus for the Pirates will be staying upbeat and preparing for American Athletic Conference opponent, Tulane University, Saturday night.
“I think our guys are prepared to go and play well this weekend,” head coach Scottie Montgomery said. “They (our leaders) have done (a) good job of making sure they push everyday to get better. We got better today and hopefully we show up this weekend.”
The Pirates sit at 2-7, 1-4 AAC, and rest at the bottom of the Eastern side of the AAC, tied for fifth place.
