 The

one of those “beautiful day for

weather has been much more suited
for duck hunting than diamond
watching. ...

"We lost to a really
outstanding basketball team, an NCAA tournament team, tonight," said
Pirates coach Jeff Lebo. "We had our chances, but didn't shoot it
really well from the foul line or from three. We made four threes to
start the game and we ended with six."
ECU made 21 of 51 field
goal attempts for 46.2 percent, six of 21 threes for 28.6 percent
and eight of 15 free throws for 53.3 percent.
"We need to shoot the
ball a lot better," Lebo said. "We had chances and they only shot 33
percent (12 for 36) in the second half, but we just couldn't
capitalize. We couldn't get (shots) to go down consistently for us
in the second half."
The Pirates were nine
for 25 from the floor after intermission (36 percent).
Temple extended its lead
from two points to 41-33 over the last two minutes of the first
half. ECU trimmed a 12-point Owls lead to 54-49 with 13:10 to go on
a layup by Antonio Robinson.
Paris Roberts-Campbell,
Robinson and Francis Edosomwan were recognized as seniors and all
three started.
Robinson injured a knee
on a second half drive but contributed five assists and five
rebounds. Roberts-Campbell had six points in 17 minutes.
Marshall Guilmette
grabbed six rebounds for the Pirates.
ECU plays at Houston on
Sunday at 4 p.m. (ESPNews) to complete the regular season. The
Pirates
topped the Cougars in Greenville by a 66-61
margin on Jan. 14.
Houston won 68-63 over
host Tulane in overtime on Wednesday to improve to 11-18 overall and
3-14 in the AAC.
