After sitting out three games with a suspension, sophomore forward Darrius Morrow came off the bench to score 17 points and help East Carolina secure a 61-46 Conference USA victory over Tulane Sunday afternoon in New Orleans.

Junior forward Jamar Abrams and freshman guard Erin Straughn each made a conventional basket and a three-pointer in the first five minutes to pace the Pirates (7-13, 1-5 C-USA) to a 12-0 lead out of the gates.

Abrams finished with 11 points and Straughn and junior center Chad Wynn added 8 apiece for East Carolina, which snapped a five-game losing streak and picked up its first conference win since a 91-88 overtime triumph over Rice last Feb. 14 in Greenville.

Freshman guard Kendall Timmons scored 15 points and junior guard Kris Richard had 14 for Tulane, which trailed from start to finish.

The Green Wave (6-12, 1-4 C-USA) made only 16-66 (24.2 percent) from the field, including a miserable 1-18 (5.6 percent) from behind the arc.

East Carolina was 25-54 (46.3 percent) on its field goal attempts and converted 3-15 (20 percent) of its 3-point tries.

The Pirates led 32-21 at the half.

Morrow and freshman guard Wakefield Ellison were suspended on Jan. 13 by East Carolina coach Mack McCarthy for a violation of team rules.

The Pirates have a gap in their weekday schedule before returning to action on Saturday in a league matchup at home against Rice (7 p.m.)
