NEW ORLEANS — East Carolina held off Tulane, 76-73, at Devlin Fieldhouse on Tuesday night. It was the Pirates’ first win on an opponent’s home floor since March 2 of last season at South Florida.

Pirates sophomore Kentrell Barkley had 17 points, hitting the front end of a one-and-one for the final margin with 6.9 seconds to go.

The Green Wave’s Colin Slater got up a tying attempt from beyond the arc on the right side but it missed at the buzzer as freshman Jeremy Sheppard challenged defensively.

ECU overcame a 34-29 halftime deficit, starting the second half with a 7-0 run that was capped by a 3-pointer by Caleb White from the left corner.

White had 17 points. Sheppard had 16 points and five assists.

Andre Washington had 11 points, eight rebounds and blocked seven shots. Freshman Deng Riak also had eight rebounds as the Pirates led 39-33 on the boards.

    I was watching the game for most of the first half, I am afraid that It looked as if we were getting out played. I am excited and surprised that we won. I hope we can continue getting the “W’s”. GGOO…_PPIRATES!!!
