GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina men's basketball team wraps up its season-opening, three-game homestand on Wednesday night when the Pirates host the Hampton Pirates at Williams Arena in Minges Coliseum.

The game is set to tip off at 7 p.m. and will be streamed on ESPN+ with Patrick Johnson and Si Seymour on the call.
