ECU basketball prepares for Houston

“Hopefully we can ride this wave and stay confident and come out Saturday with another win,” Williams said.

Williams has been a huge contributor for the Pirates (10-11; 2-6 AAC) with a combined 38 points in the team’s two conference wins and said the two-game winning streak feels great after opening with six-straight conference losses.

ECU is coming off back-to-back wins over Memphis and Temple, giving them its first two conference wins of the season. The Pirates will look to push their winning streak to three games when they face the Tigers on Saturday inside Minges.

The Pirates and Cougars (14-6; 4-4 AAC) played each other twice last season, trading wins, as they both won their games at home.
