The Pirates, led by third year coach Mack McCarthy, return an exciting core group of young players this season as they take on Wake Forest in Greensboro.

Coming off of a 24-7 campaign last year, coach Dino Gaudio and the Demon Deacons were picked to finish sixth in the ACC this season.

The exclusive production highlights MASN’s three year partnership with East Carolina University. MASN has televised Pirates football and basketball for three seasons, including nine football games in 2009. The network carries the Skip Holtz Show and will also televise Coach McCarthy’s weekly show.

“MASN continues to work with East Carolina University to provide maximum access of ECU football and basketball to Pirates fans, alumni, students, parents and recruits throughout our seven state territory.” said MASN spokesman Todd Webster. “This game also highlights the rich tradition of NCAA college basketball in North Carolina and throughout the ACC.”
