Perchcast: Plundering a Win in Greenville

It wasn’t pretty, but beating ECU is beautiful every time.

The Seahawks got a superhuman effort from Patrick Wessler to help overcome 19 turnovers and 16 missed free throws, and Tahlan Pettway knocked down a few big shots to help UNCW escape Minges Coliseum with a win.

Brant and Uncle Bill discuss whether winning a mistake-filled game like that should be viewed as a positive or a negative, why the turnovers seem fixable, and why the shot chart is encouraging.

Also, a preview of Wednesday night’s date with Kent State at Trask and a visit from our old friend, Red Panda.
