East Carolina made a game of it for only eight minutes before Southern Mississippi went on a 13-1 run to begin a 92-69 rout of the Pirates on Saturday in Hattiesburg.

The score was tied at 16 with 12:00 left in the first half when sophomore guard Jeremy Wise nailed a three-pointer to set off the explosion and launch the Golden Eagles on their way to the easy Conference USA win.

Wise scored a game-high 28 points, freshman guard R.L. Horton added 22 points and junior guard Courtney Beasley had 15 points for Southern Miss ((11-10,  3-4 C-USA).

USM sophomore guard Sai'Quon Stone, a product of Laurinburg (NC) Prep, had a game-high 10 rebounds.

The Golden Eagles led 55-30 at the half and built the advantage to as much as 33 points in the final frame.

Sophomore forward John Fields scored 13 points, while junior guard Sam Hinnant, senior guard Cory Farmer and freshman guard Brock Young had 10 apiece for the Pirates.

The loss dropped East Carolina to 7-12 overall, 1-5 in conference play. The Pirates return home for a league matchup on Wednesday night with Rice (8 p.m., CSTV).
