Ludgy Debaut made all three of his field goal attempts and both of his free throws for eight points. Suggs and Brandon Johnson scored six points apiece. Suggs added six assists and five steals.

The Pirates lost a 61-53 lead.

“We just stuck with it,” said ECU coach Joe Dooley. “The guys made some plays.”
