No. 22 Virginia Tech has East Carolina's undivided attention this week as Pirates head coach Skip Holtz has encouraged his team to put conference concerns on hold.

The Pirates (5-3, 4-1 C-USA) are in sole possession of first place in the East Division and will try to make it two straight against the visiting No. 22 Hokies (5-3, 3-2 ACC) on Thursday.

"We'll talk about conference when the Virginia Tech game is over," Holtz told the Greenville Daily Reflector. "Why I wanted to win the Memphis game as badly as I did was to sit on top. We don't have to worry about everything that's going on below us for three weeks."

The defending C-USA champion Pirates are a game ahead of UCF, Marshall, Southern Miss and UAB, who are all tied at 3-2 in the division.
