GREENVILLE — East Carolina
started the second half on an 11-0 run after building a 35-25 lead in
the first 20 minutes and the Pirates went on to a 73-60 American
Athletic Conference win over South Florida on Saturday.
ECU got 19 points each
from Caleb White and B.J. Tyson in its fourth straight win at home.
White dropped five shots from beyond the arc, a career high, and
Tyson made 11 of 14 free throws.
The Pirates went 28 for
36 at the line, outscoring the Bulls (8-20, 2-13) by 16 points on
foul shots.
Marshall Guilmette had
13 points and Terry Whisnant added 10 points as ECU improved to
12-15 overall and 5-9 in league play.
The Pirates evened the
season series after falling 58-50 at Tampa on Jan. 3.
ECU overcame a 12-3
deficit at the outset with a 15-2 spree.
Guilmette put the
Pirates ahead to stay with a 3-pointer that provided a 15-14 lead
with 8:35 left in the first half. A layup and a free throw by Tyson
produced a 30-20 ECU advantage with 3:08 remaining in the half and
the Pirates maintained a double-figure lead the rest of the way.
ECU's defense generated
11 USF turnovers in the first half and the Pirates scored 20 points
off those miscues.

"Although we didn't get
off to a great start, in the last 12 minutes of the first half we
were able to score a lot of points off turnovers," said ECU coach
Jeff Lebo. "Our defense was pretty active in the first half and we
did a nice job of extending the lead in the second half."
Tyson had six rebounds
as ECU won the board battle, 30-27. Corey Allen Jr., a senior guard,
paced the visitors with 28 points and eight rebounds.
Antonio Robinson had
five assists for the Pirates. Michel-Ofik Nzege scored six points
and Lance Tejada tallied four for ECU.
USF committed 10 fouls
in the last three minutes and the Pirates made 13 of 19 at the line
in that span to seal the outcome.
Allen led USF's attempts
at a comeback by scoring 25 points in the second half. Troy Halston
Jr. had 13 points for the Bulls.
ECU hosts Connecticut on
Wednesday at 7 p.m. (ESPNU). The Huskies
topped the Pirates 65-52 in Storrs on Feb. 4
although ECU held a 34-27 lead at the half. UConn fell to 14-11
overall and 7-6 in the AAC with a 75-72 loss at Memphis on Thursday
night. The Huskies host Tulane at 4 p.m. today.
Players
at every position on East
Carolina's defensive unit
completed their eligibility
at the end of the 2014
season, including six
starters. The result was a
wide-ranging list of needs
to cover those losses ...
