Pirates, Deacs face off for first time since 1986

No. 22 Wake Forest (10-2) has some business to take care of before it can turn its focus to top-ranked Duke's visit to Joel Coliseum on Saturday.

The Demon Deacons host East Carolina (5-6) Tuesday night in a 9 p.m. game that will be televised on Fox Sports Net South.

Wake will seek its fourth straight win at the expense of the Pirates, who are on a two-game mini-winning streak of their own.

In their most recent games, the Deacons demolished Charleston Southern 87-47 on Friday, while East Carolina dispatched of UNC-Wilmington 82-69 on Saturday.

A couple of faces familiar with the territory will accompany the Pirates to Winston-Salem.

Jeremy Ingram, averaging 12.5 points per game, played eight games for Wake Forest as a freshman before transferring to ECU last spring. He became eligible to play for the Pirates in December at the end of the fall semester.

Ricky Stokes, in his first season as head coach at ECU after serving as an assistant at South Carolina under Dave Odom, was on Odom's staff at Wake Forest from 1989-1997.

The Deacs won all three previous meetings with ECU, the most recent being a 65-60 victory in Winston-Salem in 1986.

Wake's battle with Duke on Saturday marks the start of a stretch in which the Demon Deacons will play 16 of 17 games against ACC foes.

ECU also has another ranked opponent on its short-term horizon. After hosting Division II St. Paul's on Saturday, the Pirates open their Conference USA schedule at home on Wednesday, Jan. 11, against No. 4 Memphis.
