📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Rock You Like A Hurricane. Need a clutch bucket? Just call Brandon Johnson.

Johnson scored 17 points and none bigger than a three-pointer with less than a minute to play to help the Pirates to a 62-57 conference win over Tulsa on Sunday afternoon at Minges.

In addition to Johnson’s double-digit output, Ezra Ausar and RJ Felton each added 14 points to lift ECU to victory.

🔼 Playoff Pirates. The NFL postseason is set and once again, the Pirates will be a part of the dance.

Big fella Linval Joseph will once again be a part of the postseason as he helped secure the AFC East title with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night in Miami. The Bills now host the Steelers on Sunday afternoon.

Keaton Mitchell was a huge part of the Ravens’ journey to the AFC’s top seed, but suffered his season-ending injury last month, so will be unavailable for the playoffs.

🤔 PIRATES TRIVIA

Sunday’s 17-point output was the 12th time in 13 games that Brandon Johnson scored in double-figures this season.
