Tulsa, Okla. – The East Carolina men's basketball team concludes its two-game road swing on Tuesday evening when the Pirates visit Donald W. Reynolds Center to face off against Tulsa for the first time this season.Â
The game is set to start at 8 p.m. ET and will be streamed on ESPN+ with Chad McKee (play-by-play) and Pooh Williamson (analyst) on the call. Pirate fans can also tune in to 107.9 WNCT FM, 94.3 The Game or download the IBX app to hear Daron Vaught call the action.
The Pirates are led in scoring by All-AAC Preseason First Team guard RJ Felton's 17.8 points per game and the senior adds 6.8 rebounds per game. C.J. Walker supplies secondary scoring with 17.5 ppg and leads the team in rebounding with 6.9 per game while Jordan Riley averages 13.6 ppg and 5.6 rpg to round out ECU's double figure scorers. ECU now has three 1,000-point scorers on their roster in Felton, Walker and Cam Hayes after Hayes and Walker reached that mark in their collegiate careers on Saturday at Wichita State.
Last Time Out
RJ Felton scored 11 points and hit the game-winning three-pointer to lift East Carolina over Wichita State 75-72 on Saturday night at Charles Koch Arena. C.J. Walker added a career-high 28 points and Jordan Riley scored 16 points for the Pirates who have won their last three games at Wichita.
Scouting the Golden Hurricane
Tulsa comes into Tuesday's matchup having won two of its last three, recently losing on the road to South Florida, 63-56, on Saturday. Keaston Willis is the Golden Hurricane's main scoring threat, averaging 13.3 points per game with 2.9 threes made per game and the guard has made over 300 three-pointers in his collegiate career. Tulsa is 6-4 at home this season.
Series History
Tulsa leads the all-time series with East Carolina, 23-9, but ECU has taken the last six meetings including defeating the Hurricane, 84-79 in the first round of the AAC Championship last year. The last six wins by the Pirates have been decided by an average margin of 4.8 points. ECU is 3-12 all-time at Tulsa but the Pirates have won their last two games at the Reynolds Center.
On This Date
The Pirates are 6-8 in games played on Jan. 21 with the last contest on this date coming 13 seasons ago during the 2011-12 campaign, when the Pirates lost on the road to Houston, 76-82, in a Conference USA contest. The last season that the Pirates won on Jan. 21 was the 1994-95 season when ECU defeated George Mason on the road, 84-70.
