 It
was my honor and privilege to serve as emcee for the first ever "Evening

always such a special event for the school's baseball program. ...

GREENVILLE — Freshman B.J.
Tyson led a second-half surge by East Carolina that produced a 64-53
American Athletic Conference win over Memphis before an appreciative
crowd of 4,519 in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum on Tuesday night.
Tyson scored 20 of his
game-high 23 points in the final 20 minutes as the Pirates overcame
a 25-21 deficit at the half.
The left-handed guard
hit 10 of his 14 field goal attempts as ECU improved to 11-13
overall and 4-7 in league play.
After making just seven
of 26 from the floor (26.9 percent) in the first half, the Pirates
warmed up to connect on 16 of 24 shots on the second half (66.7
percent) to finish at 46 percent for the game.

Roberts-Campbell with 5:23 to go put ECU ahead to stay at 50-49.
Just as Memphis had done
in a 70-58 home win over the Pirates on Jan. 28, ECU went on an 8-0
run to close the game.
Sophomore Caleb White
added 11 points as ECU won its third straight AAC home game. It was
the Pirates' second win over the Tigers, the first coming by a 68-57
margin on March 2, 2011 in Jeff Lebo's first season as coach of the
Pirates.
Memphis was without
leading scorer Austin Nichols due to an injury. ECU had a 39-16 lead
in bench scoring.
Shaq Goodwin had 13
points and 12 rebounds for the Tigers (14-10, 6-5). Nick King also
scored 13 for Memphis.
Terry Whisnant had seven
points for the Pirates. Antonio Robinson's line included six points,
six rebounds, six assists and three steals. Kanu Aja had six points
and Michael Zangari added five.
ECU visits Temple for a
2 p.m. tipoff Saturday, a matchup to be shown on the CBS Sports
Network. The Owls upped their record to 18-7 for the season and 9-3
in league play by turning back visiting Cincinnati 75-59 on Tuesday
night.
There’s
a reason the best coaches,
no matter what the sport,
never seem to get taken by
surprise. It’s because
they’re always thinking one,
two, sometimes even three
plays ahead. ...
