Boca Raton, Fla. – East Carolina plays its final game of the regular season on Sunday as the Pirates visit Florida Atlantic ahead of next week's American Athletic Conference Basketball Championship.Â
The game will tip at 1 p.m. on ESPN+ with Frank Forte (play-by-play) and Justin Massey (analyst) on the call and Gabriella Haugland (sideline) reporting from the baseline. Pirate fans can also tune into 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 Preseason All-AAC First Team guard RJ Felton's 18.7 points per night (4th in AAC) and the senior also adds 6.6 rebounds per game. C.J. Walker adds 17.5 points per contest (5th in AAC) on 52.7 percent shooting from the floor and 6.6 rebounds while Jordan Riley averages 14.3 ppg, 5.9 rpg and a league-best two steals per game to round out ECU's top scorers. The trio of Felton, Walker, Riley makes up 66 percent of the Pirates' point production. Felton (561 points) and Walker (524 points) are the only Pirate teammates in program history to both score 500 or more points in the same season.
Last Time Out
RJ Felton scored 17 points on 7-of-15 shooting as East Carolina defeated Tulane 73-64 and never trailed on Thursday evening inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum.
Scouting the Owls
Florida Atlantic comes into Sunday having lost four of its last five games, most recently falling to UAB on the road, 89-80 on Thursday night. The Owls feature three players that average double figures in scoring, led by Kaleb Glenn's 13 points per game. Florida Atlantic is one of the most efficient offenses in the league, averaging 79.2 points per game (4th in AAC) on 46.6 percent (2nd in AAC) shooting from the floor.
Series History
