HUNTINGTON, WV —
East Carolina coach Jeff Lebo often says
that basketball is a game of runs. Marshall made the last one Sunday to
defeat the visiting Pirates 64-61.
A 3-pointer by Caleb White
put ECU (16-14, 5-10 Conference USA) ahead 61-54 and completed a 14-2
Pirates spree with 4:32 to go, but ECU did not score again.
The Thundering Herd (10-20,
4-11) ended the game with a 10-0 run, taking the lead at 62-61 on a
3-point play by Ryan Taylor with 10 seconds remaining.
ECU finished the first half
on an 18-3 run to lead 41-30 at the break. Marshall scored the first 16
points of the second half.
White led the Pirates with
23 points. Akeem Richmond had 15 points. Antonio Robinson added 10
points.
Michael Zangari had six
points and five rebounds. Prince Williams added four points, 10
rebounds, nine assists and four steals for the Pirates.
Chris Thomas led the Herd
with 17 points. Taylor had 15 points, 12 rebounds and five assists.
Marshall had a 44-28
rebounding lead.
Kareem Canty had 11 points
and six assists in the win. Shawn Smith netted 10 points.
ECU completes the regular
season at Old Dominion at 7 p.m. Thursday. The Monarchs
topped the Pirates 81-70 in Greenville on Jan. 11. ODU
(14-16, 8-7 C-USA) lost 74-63 at Charlotte on Sunday as the 49ers
stopped a six-game losing streak.
