San Antonio, Texas – East Carolina visits UTSA on Wednesday night as the Pirates look to get back in the win column at the Convocation Center after dropping their last two games.
The game is slated for an 8 p.m. ET tip time and will be streamed on ESPN+ with Jordy Fee-Platt (play-by-play) and Devin Brown (analyst) on the call with Carlie Heineman (sideline) 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 in scoring with 23.6 points per game (1st in American, 2nd in NCAA) while Giovanni Emejuru adds 13.4 points and 9.5 rebounds per game and is second in the conference in double-doubles with 13. Emejuru is one point away from reaching 1,000 for his collegiate career and two offensive rebounds away from setting a new program single-season record for offensive rebounds.
Last Time Out
Jordan Riley scored a game-high 20 points, but East Carolina dropped its second straight game, falling to Charlotte 68-56 at Halton Arena on Saturday afternoon.
Scouting the Roadrunners
UTSA enters Wednesday's contest coming off of a 100-74 loss at Tulsa on Sunday. The Roadrunners are led in scoring by Jamir Simpson's 16 points per game. UTSA has lost its last nine home games.
Series History
East Carolina leads the all-time series with UTSA 7-0 after the Pirates defeated the Roadrunners, 88-72, on Feb. 11 inside Minges Coliseum. That game marked the Pirates' first double-figure victory over UTSA since Feb. 10, 2024, as the last three games had all been decided by less than 10 points.
On This Date
ECU is 1-9 in games played on Feb. 25 with the most recent contest on this date coming during the 2022-23 season when the Pirates lost to Houston, 76-57, inside Minges Coliseum. It was the first time ECU had hosted an AP No. 1 team at Minges.
Up Next
East Carolina hosts Memphis in Minges on March 1 for senior day at 2 p.m. on ESPN+.
