•East Carolina released its 2012 schedule, which includes 32 home
games and the Ninth Annual Keith LeClair
Classic (Purdue, Western Carolina and Maryland). The 2012 slate
features 16 games against teams that earned a
bid to the 2010 NCAA Regionals; 36 against teams with 30-plus wins,
nine that topped the 40-plus win plateau,
and nine that finished ranked in the national polls. Including its C-
USA schedule and its instate rival games against
North Carolina, N.C. State and UNC Wilmington, the Pirates will travel
