East Carolina was in
position to snatch a Conference USA road win until it went cold from
the field and watched UTEP pull away in the closing minutes to a
70-56 victory Wednesday night in El Paso.
The Pirates (9-8, 0-4
C-USA) led on two occasions in the second half and trailed 52-50
with 8:25 left when the shooting woes that have plagued them much of
the season struck again.
ECU made only 2 of 12
shots as the clock ticked down — including 0-for-8 from beyond the
arc — allowing the Miners (10-9, 3-2) to close the game on an 18-6
run.
John Bohannon was the
Pirates' biggest nemesis all night. The sophomore center had 17
points, and his 14 rebounds helped UTEP outrebound ECU 39-19.
Senior forward Gabriel
McCulley scored 16 points, freshman forward Julian Washburn had 12
and sophomore guard Michael Perez added 10 for the Miners.
Junior guard Miguel
Paul and junior forward Maurice Kemp each scored 14 points and
senior forward Darrius Morrow had 12 for the Pirates.
UTEP led at the half
36-32. The score was tied 6 times and there were 6 lead changes.
East Carolina
continues its road swing with an 8 p.m. matchup at Houston Saturday
night. The Cougars (9-9, 1-4) absorbed a 70-54 loss to Southern
Methodist Wednesday night.
