One of the downsides of UCF leaving Conference USA will be losing its budding rivalry with East Carolina. The two schools have had a spirited rivalry in the Eastern division of the conference in all sports and the PIrates have had the better end of the basketball rivalry of late including wins in all three matchups last season.
UCF travels up to Greenville today to try to end that losing streak to ECU but will be without the services of backup point guard Jeff Jordan who is not with the team due to personal reasons today.
