GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina men's basketball team is set to play the second game of its six-game homestand on Saturday afternoon when it welcomes Campbell to Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum.

The game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. start on ESPN+ with Patrick Johnson and Si Seymour on the call.

Last Time Out
ECU is coming off a 91-61 rout of Division III opponent Ferrum in its season opener on Monday night led by Brandon Johnson's career-high 29 points. Ezra Ausar (13 points), RJ Felton (11 points) and Kalib LaCount (11 points) rounded out the Pirates' double-figure scorers. It was the first time the Pirates scored 90 points in a game since 2021.

On This Date
ECU is 4-0 in games played on Nov. 11 since the 1960-61 season. The last time the Pirates played on this date was Nov. 11, 2018 when ECU defeated Lamar 84-78 in overtime at Minges Coliseum.

Scouting the Camels
Campbell comes to Greenville following a 59-48 home win over Navy at Monday night led by Gediminas Mokseckas' 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the floor. The Camels' defense held Navy to just .339 shooting from the floor and did not allow a Midshipmen to score in double figures. Campbell returns 47 percent of its starting lineup and 35 percent of its points from last season.
