What to Know

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are taking a road trip to face off against the East Carolina Pirates at 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Coastal Carolina is headed out to face East Carolina after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Coastal Carolina managed a 60-56 victory over Western Michigan on Monday.

Meanwhile, East Carolina posted their biggest win since December 20, 2023 on Monday. They steamrolled past NC-Wesleyan 97-70. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 65-32.

Coastal Carolina is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They finished last season with a 14-11-1 record against the spread.
