the Mustangs. Markus Kennedy tallied 12. Ben Moore and Ryan Manuel had
11 points each. Sterling Brown finished with 10 points.

and 10 rebounds for ECU (8-10, 1-4), which trailed 31-29 on the boards.
White and freshman B.J. Tyson had
five assists apiece for the Pirates. Michael Zangari blocked three SMU
shots. White and Tyson each controlled five rebounds.
The Mustangs took the lead 21 seconds
into the game and maintained the upper hand the rest of the way.
SMU led 34-22 at the half. Its
biggest lead was 33 points with 8:22 left to play.
