New Orleans, La. – The East Carolina men's basketball team remains on the road and will look to win its fourth straight game on Wednesday night when the Pirates travel to New Orleans to face Tulane at Avron B. Fogelman Arena.Â
The game is set to tip at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+ with Jack Benjamin (play-by-play) and David Grubb (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.
ECU is led in scoring by graduate forward C.J. Walker's 18.4 points per game (4th in AAC) and the six-year veteran adds 6.9 rebounds per game as well. Walker was named the AAC Player of the Week and earned Oscar Robertson Trophy National Player of the Week honors last week. The Sanford, Fla. native is averaging 23.3 points and 7.7 rebounds on 57 percent shooting from the floor in his last three games. Preseason All-AAC First Team guard RJ Felton adds 18.0 (5th in AAC) points per night and leads the team in rebounding with 7.2 boards per game while Jordan Riley averages 14.0 ppg, 5.6 rpg and a league best two steals per game to round out ECU's top scorers. The trio of Felton, Walker, Riley makes up 67 percent of the Pirates' point production.
Last Time Out
RJ Felton scored a game-high 23 points on 7-of-9 shooting from behind the arc as East Carolina rallied in the second half to defeat in-state rival Charlotte, 75-59, on Saturday afternoon at Halton Arena.
Scouting the Green Wave
Tulane is coming off an 81-78 win over Rice at home on Saturday and the Green Wave have won three of their last four games coming into Wednesday's contest. Rowan Brumbaugh leads Tulane in scoring with 15.5 points per game (8th in AAC) and Kaleb Banks adds 15 points per contest (9th in AAC). The Green Wave are second in the conference in scoring defense, allowing just 68.3 points per game.
Series History
East Carolina leads the all-time series with Tulane 19-17 as the Pirates won the lone meeting last year, 81-67, in Greenville. Since 2020, the teams have alternated wins and ECU is 7-9 all-time at Tulane, having lost its last three games played in New Orleans. ECU's last win at Tulane was an 81-67 victory on Feb. 8, 2020.
On This Date
The Pirates are 7-9 in games played on Feb. 19 with the last game played on this date coming during the 2022-23 season when ECU lost 86-70 on the road against SMU.
