Senior guard Aubrey
Coleman equaled his nation-leading 25-point scoring average and grabbed
11 rebounds to lead Houston to a 74-55 Conference USA victory over East
Carolina Saturday night in Greenville.
A silver lining in the
defeat for East Carolina (6-12, 0-4 C-USA) was the establishment of a
new school career record for assists by Brock Young. The junior guard
broke Travis Holcomb-Faye's mark of 413 in the first half and finished
the game with a career total of 416. Holcomb-Faye played for ECU from 2000-03.
Sophomore forward DaQuan
Joyner and freshman guard Erin Straughn each recorded double-doubles for
the Pirates. Joyner had 12 points and pulled down 13 rebounds while
Straughn scored 11 points and had 12 rebounds.
Senior guard Kelvin Lewis
scored 13 points, junior forward Maurice McNeil had 11 points and 15
rebounds and junior guard Zamal Nixon added 10 points to help the
Cougars (10-7, 3-1 C-USA) lead from start to finish to post their second
straight win and third in their last four games.
Houston led at the half
30-22.
The loss was fourth in a
row and sixth in the last seven games for the depleted Pirates. For the
second straight game, East Carolina was without
the services of sophomore forward Darrius Morrow and freshman guard
Wakefield Ellison, who were suspended indefinitely by ECU coach Mack
McCarthy on Wednesday for a violation of team rules.
East Carolina has a rare
mid-January break before hitting the road for a pair of back-to-back
league games next weekend. The Pirates face Southern Miss on Saturday (5
p.m.) in Hattiesburg and Tulane the next day in New Orleans (3 p.m.)
