GREENVILLE, N.C. – East Carolina wraps up its three-game homestand before the holidays as well as its non-conference slate on Saturday afternoon when the Pirates take on Gardner-Webb inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum.
The game is set for a 3 p.m. start time and will be streamed on ESPN+ with Patrick Johnson (play-by-play) and Si Seymour (analyst) on the call. Fans can also tune in to 107.9 WNCT FM, 94.3 The Game or download the IBX app to hear Jim Szoke call the action.
Saturday's game is the second of four Holiday Hoops games where fans can get $8 tickets for seating in the lower-level general admission bleachers and behind-the-basket seating of the upper level.
The Pirates are led in scoring by C.J. Walker's 17.6 points per game and 6.8 rebounds per game while All-AAC Preseason First Team selection RJ Felton adds 17.3 points per contest to go along with 6.6 rebounds a night. Jordan Riley (13.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg) and Cam Hayes (10.3 ppg, 3.8 apg) round out ECU's double figure scorers.
Last Time Out
C.J. Walker scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as East Carolina snapped its three-game slide with a 75-64 win over FIU inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum on Tuesday night. Jordan Riley added 16 points and six rebounds for the Pirates (8-4) who shook off a sloppy first half with an efficient offensive performance in the second half, scoring 40 points on 60 percent shooting. Yann Farell had a season-high 14 points off the bench and RJ Felton added 12 points.
Scouting the Runnin' Bulldogs
Gardner-Webb comes into Minges having lost their last three games by a combined eight points after an 86-81 loss at Georgia Southern on Tuesday. Three Runnin' Bulldogs average double figures in scoring, led by Anthony Selden's 15.8 ppg.
