They won their first conference title in 1954 and appeared in the NAIA National Tournament two years in a row. By the 1960s East Carolina graduated from the DI and became a member of the Southern Conference.

After many conference affiliation changes, they now compete in The American Conference. The Pirates men’s basketball team made their first appearance in the NCAA Division I tournament in 1972.
