Pirates look for miracle run in the AAC Tournament

After finishing another up-and-down season that brought its sixth straight losing season, the East Carolina University men’s basketball team will take on Wichita State University in the first round of the American Athletic Conference Championship tonight at 10.

ECU (10-20, 3-15 AAC) has matched up with Wichita State (17-13, 10-8 AAC) two times during the regular season. The Shockers walked out with a 65-49 win on Feb. 6 in Greenville and a 72-55 win in Wichita, Kansas on March 5.

In the two losses, the Pirates got outrebounded by at least 10 rebounds and outshot from the three-point line and free throw line.
