Mustangs trample Pirates
From staff and
electronic reports
Southern Methodist got
double-figure scoring from five players while East Carolina struggled to
produce points as the Mustangs whipped the Pirates 65-42 in a Conference
USA game Saturday night in Dallas.
Derrick Roberts scored a
game-high 15 points, Dez Willingham added 14 and Ike Ofoegbu, Jon Killen
and Donatas Rackauskas each scored 11 for the Mustangs (14-12, 3-9 C-USA).
Ofoegbu grabbed a
game-high 15 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season as SMU
controlled the backboards 40-31.
Junior guard Darrell
Jenkins led East Carolina (5-20, 0-12) with 13 points. Freshman center
Justin Ramsey contributed 8 points and freshman forward Gabe Blair was
the Pirates' top rebounder with 11.
The Mustangs made 52.3
percent of their field goal attempts (23-44), including 45.8 percent
from three-point range (11-24), while ECU converted only 26.8 percent
from the field (15-56)and a paltry 15.8 percent from behind the arc
(3-19).
Southern Methodist raced
to a 37-20 halftime lead and built the margin to as much as 28 points
with 13:17 remaining.
The Pirates were again without the services of
6-9 freshman forward John Fields, who was sidelined for the second
straight game with a knee injury.
ECU has lost 12 games in a
row and 19 of its last 20. The Pirates' last victory came on Jan. 6 over
Chowan.
East Carolina's next shot
at halting the skid will come Wednesday night when it hosts league foe
Marshall at 7 p.m.
