East Carolina failed to
score a field goal in the final 14 minutes, providing Southern Methodist
an opening to overcome a 12-point deficit with a game-ending run that
lifted the Mustangs to a 46-41 Conference USA victory Wednesday night in
Dallas.
The Pirates (12-10, 4-4
C-USA) extended a 25-19 halftime lead to 35-23 on a 3-pointer by senior
guard Jontae Sherrod with 14:02 remaining when the deep freeze set in.
SMU outscored the Pirates 23-6 down the stretch, securing the lead for
good on a trey by senior guard Mike Walker at the 2:35 mark.
ECU's only points during
the span came on 6 free throws.
Senior forward Papa Dia
had 13 points and 13 rebounds, Walker added 12 points and freshman guard
Jeremiah Samarrippas contributed 10 points for the Mustangs (14-8, 5-3).
Senior guard Brock Young
was East Carolina's only double-figure scorer with 15 points.
East Carolina returns home
for a rematch with Central Florida on Saturday at 5 p.m. The Pirates
thumped the Golden Knights 74-62
