Wake bombards Pirates
From staff and
electronic reports
Freshmen Anthony Gurley
and Ishmael Smith were the lead instructors as Wake Forest put on a
shooting clinic in an 81-65 victory over East Carolina Monday night in
Winston-Salem.
Gurley and Ishmael each
scored 15 points and displayed an accurate touch in all aspects of
shooting to pace a Wake offensive effort that sent ECU (4-8) to its 7th
straight loss.
The Demon Deacons (8-5)
shot 57.1 percent from the field (28-49), making 54.5 percent of their
three-point attempts (12-22) in the process. ECU hit 40.4 percent of its
field goal tries (21-52), connecting on 33.3 percent of its three-point
attempts (6-18).
Gurley was 5 of 7 from the
floor, including 3 of 4 from three-point range, and made good on both of
his foul line opportunities, while Ishmael converted 4 of 5 field goal
attempts — 2 of 3 from behind the arc — and knocked down 5 of 7 free
throws.
Sophomore Sam Hinnant
scored 13 points and freshman James Dillard and junior Darrell Jenkins
each contributed 12 for the Pirates.
Senior Kyle Visser added
14 points and freshman L.D. Williams recorded 11 points and 10 rebounds
for Wake (8-5), which won for the third time in its last four games.
The Deacs stretched a
40-30 halftime lead to as much as 25 points, 73-48, with a little less
than six minutes remaining.
East Carolina returns to
Greenville to host Chowan on Saturday (7 p.m.), then visits Tulsa on
Wednesday, Jan. 10., to launch its 16-game Conference USA gauntlet.
