2000.
ECU outscored the Keydets 103-94 on
Thursday night in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum to end both streaks.
Six players reached double figures

didn't miss a shot from the field (5-for-5) or the foul line

perfect shooting night, going 4-for-4 from the floor and making both his
free throws.

start the second half that pushed the lead to 66-50.
