ECU basketball remains paused, game at Tulsa PPD

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - The men’s basketball activities at ECU remain suspended due to the continuation of COVID-19 health and safety protocols. As a result, the Pirates’ game at Tulsa scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 27 has been postponed.

“Multiple individuals within our program have tested positive for COVID-19 over the last 10 days. Our medical staff continues to monitor all affected individuals and our priority remains the safety and well-being of all individuals involved with the program. We will continue to provide the best medical care and are hopeful we can return to competition in the first week of March. The past year has tested all of us and I am proud of the way our student-athletes, coaches and staff have navigated through the pandemic. This has been an extremely difficult time for our men’s basketball student-athletes with the pauses and cancellations of games. But we understand our situation and we aren’t immune to the countless number of games being cancelled across our country. It’s the reality we are living in right now and it is tough to inform student-athletes they can’t compete. We will continue to emphasize our safety protocols and work to keep each other safe.”
ECU Director of Athletics Jon Gilbert

ECU’s next scheduled game is Thursday, March 4 against UCF inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum.
