GREENVILLE, N.C. – East Carolina wraps up its two-game homestand on Wednesday night when the Pirates face UTSA inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum.
Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. ET and the game will be streamed on ESPN+ with Patrick Johnson (play-by-play) and Jay Sonnhalter (analyst) on the call and Katelyn McCarthy reporting from the baseline. 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.
Jordan Riley leads the Pirates and the American in scoring with 23.3 points per game and has scored 30 or more points in his last three games. Giovanni Emejuru adds 13.3 points and 9.6 rebounds while Demitri Gardner averages 9.7 points per game on 54 percent shooting from distance.
Last Time Out
Jordan Riley scored a game-high 32 points, but East Carolina could not string together consecutive conference wins for the first time this year as the Pirates fell to Temple, 81-73, inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.
Riley Close To 1,000 Points At ECU
Jordan Riley is only eight points away from 1,000 career points at East Carolina which would make him the fourth Pirate to reach 1,000 points in an ECU jersey in just a two-season span joining Oliver Mack, Blue Edwards and Jayden Gardner. Riley reached 1,000 points for his collegiate career last season in the Pirates' win over UTSA in the conference tournament.

Series History
East Carolina leads the all-time series with UTSA 6-0 as the Pirates swept the Roadrunners last year but all three games were decided by an average margin of four points. ECU is 2-0 against UTSA in Minges Coliseum.
