UNC Greensboro secures 82-78 victory against East Carolina

Led by Justin Neely's 23 points, the UNC Greensboro Spartans defeated the East Carolina Pirates 82-78

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • Associated Press

Jordan Riley - Puts up 25 points, nine boards Riley recorded 25 points (9-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), a season-high nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 37 minutes during Saturday's 82-78 loss to UNCG.

Impact Riley has scored at least 18 points in his last three games and has played at least 37 minutes in each of those contests. The 6-5 senior is leading the Pirates with 19.8 points on 46.0 percent from the field. ECU has two games next week (Appalachian State on Thursday, Buffalo on Sunday), which makes Riley an easy play in most formats.

Giovanni Emejuru - Scores 15, grabs 12 boards Emejuru accumulated 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 82-78 loss to UNCG.

Impact Emejuru submitted his fourth double-double of the season and the Pirates are just 1-3 in those games. He raised his field goal percentage to 52.7 percent. The George Mason transfer might be the best center-eligible player in the American Conference.

Jayshayne Woodard - Heavy minutes off bench Woodard (leg) had six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and a steal in 24 minutes during Saturday's loss to UNC Greensboro.

Impact Woodard was back in the fold after missing the last five games with a leg injury. Despite coming off the bench, he logged the fourth-most minutes on the team and should be a trusted rotational player moving forward.

Impact Riley has been the Pirates' leading shot taker and came into the game leading the team with 17.4 points. He has scored at least 13 points in every game, but came into Thanksgiving struggling from long range. He had hit just 27.3 percent of his 3-pointers before scoring nearly half of ECU's points in the team's fifth straight loss. The 6-5 senior will try to help the team snap the streak next Tuesday against Maryland-Eastern Shore.

In five games this season, none of them off East Carolina's bench, Caulker has averaged 8.2 points, 3.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds. On the other hand, he also averaged 2.4 turnovers and shot 25.9 percent from the field.
