The Charlotte 49ers return home Thursday night at 7 p.m., looking for a win against in-state rival, East Carolina. The Niners will look to go 2-0 against the Pirates; the men’s team already beat ECU 76-64 earlier this season in Halton Arena.
What to Expect
The Pirates come into Thursday’s game with a record of 6-2. Similar to the Niners, the Pirates are coming off a Thanksgiving tournament. ECU competed in the Savannah Invitational down in Georgia, beating Marist 70-68 and Ball State 82-69 in overtime. However, they lost their second game to nationally ranked West Virginia 79-47.
