The Canisius Golden Griffins showed something in their opener against a decent Miami team, but back to back road games to start the season is rough, and they struggled to score the ball. The East Carolina Pirates are a feisty bunch that gets after it defensively and has nowhere to go but up offensively in this game. We’re not being asked to lay a ton. I’ll lay the reasonable number with ECU at home.
