GREENVILLE — Derrick Wiley
scored 22 points and Gabriel Mikulas added 18 points and nine rebounds
to lead East Carolina to a 100-59 win over UNC Pembroke Tuesday night.
Erroyl Bing tallied 13
points off the bench for ECU and Corey Rouse chipped in 11.
The Pirates (2-0) enjoyed
a 53-22 rebounding edge and also dominated offensively inside,
outscoring the Braves 56-14 in the paint.
Reserve Justin Baker led
UNCP (1-3) with 18 points and Damien Goodman had 14. The Braves
committed 24 turnovers and trailed from the start.
The Pirates converted 21
of 38 shots in the first half on their way to a 56-33 halftime lead.
UNCP made 18 of 49 attempts from the field.
Freshman point guard Japhet McNeil had well-rounded production, scoring
seven points, dishing eight assists and collecting five steals for the
Pirates.
ECU coach Bill Herrion
took note of the roles played by newcomers in what was a runaway but
sometimes messy win.
"We have a lot of young
guys that we are still trying to break in here," Herrion said. "Japhet
McNeil, Frank Robinson and Mike Cook just played their second college
basketball game. I think if we are going to be disappointed with a
41-point win, then we need to look down inside ourselves. But we will
take it, we are happy to be 2-0."
Freshmen guards Cook and
Robinson contributed nine points apiece.
Next up for East Carolina
is a
Saturday matchup up at 8
p.m. with visiting Coastal Carolina.
