The 6-foot-8, near 250-pound sophomore finished the season as the Pirates’ third-leading scorer and rebounder averaging 11.4 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. He shot 51% from the floor, 65.3% from the free throw line, and went 6/16 from three, showing he has the ability to step out and knock down a triple every now and then.
Ausar played extremely well in East Carolina’s two games in the American Athletic Conference tournament, posting 28 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and two steals in the win over Tulsa. He followed that up with a 14-point, 9-rebound performance in the loss to South Florida.
Ausar has heard from Arizona State, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Seton Hall, Utah, and Virginia Tech in addition to West Virginia.
He will have two years of eligibility remaining.
