HARTFORD, CT — Top-seeded
Southern Methodist withstood a challenge from eighth-seeded East
Carolina for a 74-68 quarterfinal win in the American Athletic
Conference tournament Friday afternoon at the XL Center.
The Pirates (14-18)
attacked from beyond the arc, hitting 15 of 35 attempts from long
range. Threes by Terry Whisnant, Marshall Guilmette, B.J. Tyson and
Antonio Robinson helped ECU to an early 19-9 advantage.
Robinson had a
career-high 18 points and a team-high six rebounds. Whisnant matched
both of those numbers after going scoreless in an 81-80 overtime win
over Central Florida in the first round of the AAC event on
Thursday.
"I didn't shoot very
well yesterday," Whisnant said. "Coach (Jeff Lebo) just talked to
me. All my teammates talked to me because they want me to shoot the
ball. So I came out today, wanted to be aggressive and wanted to get
this win."
Caleb White had 14
points for the Pirates, who saw their early advantage wiped out by
an 18-3 Mustangs run.
SMU, ranked No. 20 by
the Associated Press, led 37-32 at the half but could not pull away
as in
a 77-54 win over ECU in
Dallas on Jan. 17.
"We battled our tail
off," Lebo said. "We shot the ball like we needed to shoot it to
have a chance. Our defense was really good when we didn't turn the
ball over."
The Pirates had 15
turnovers while SMU committed nine.
"We made some
adjustments in the zone," Lebo said. "They didn't score much in the
half court. On the first shot, defense was excellent. But we had
some turnovers that they got out on the break and obviously their
size inside was a big difference. But really proud of my group and,
in particular, my seniors."
Robinson, who had six
assists, and Paris Roberts-Campbell played their final game game for
ECU. Roberts-Campbell made one of two field goal attempts, hitting a
three that cut SMU's lead to 59-57 with 7:58 remaining.
Two free throws by
Robinson put the Pirates ahead 62-61 with 6:10 to go. A pair of foul
shots by White evened the score at 64 with 4:37 left before a 6-0
run by SMU over the next three-plus minutes proved too much for ECU
to overcome.
SMU (25-6) got 20 points
and five assists from 5-feet, 9-inch Nic Moore, the AAC Player of
the Year. Markus Kennedy added 15 points and six rebounds for the
Mustangs.
SMU made 19 of 28 free
throws while ECU sank seven of eight foul shots. The Pirates were
whistled for 20 fouls compared to nine for the Mustangs.
Guilmette fouled out
with 3:11 to go after scoring eight points and grabbing five
rebounds in 30 minutes. Tyson, a freshman, added seven points to
finish the season with a team-high 12.7 scoring average.
