'Deuce' becomes No. 1 |
|
GREENVILLE — "Deuce" is how East
Carolina football coach Ruffin
McNeill refers to senior inside
wide receiver Justin Hardy. It's
because Hardy wears uniform No.
2. "Deuce" became No. 1 on
Saturday, moving ahead of former
Oklahoma receiver Ryan Broyles
for the most career catches in
Football Bowl Subdivision
history. ...

ESTERO, FL —
Freshman guard B.J. Tyson scored East Carolina's last eight points,
including all six of his free throw attempts down the stretch, as the
Pirates held off Fresno State for a 58-52 win in the Gulf Coast Showcase
on Tuesday afternoon.
Tyson finished with 22
points and sophomore Caleb White scored 16 for ECU (3-2), which will
meet Hawaii at 2:30 p.m. today for fifth place in the event. The
Rainbows improved to 5-2 Tuesday with a 62-55 win over Marist (0-4).
The Bulldogs (1-4) made
a run to trim a 13-point Pirates lead to 50-48 with 3:13 remaining.
A pair of free throws by Tyson and his fast break basket extended
ECU's lead to six points with 43 seconds to go.
Tyson said he has
confidence at the foul line.
"I get a little down and
upset with myself when I miss my free throws because I know I'm not
the type of player that misses free throws," Tyson said. "I try to
take advantage of getting those free points every opportunity I
get."
Tyson was 11-for-11 at
the line in his fifth college game.
Michael Zangari gave the
Pirates a boost inside with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Coach Jeff Lebo was
pleased with how his short-handed group responded after
a loss to Green Bay
on Monday. Wing man Paris Roberts-Campbell and post player Marshall
Guilmette are both out with injuries.
Down by four points with
12:53 left in the first half, ECU had a 22-5 run sparked by 10
straight points from White. The Bulldogs, who returned four starters
from a team that posted 21 wins last season, went more than seven
minutes in the first half without a field goal.
The Pirates led 31-22 at
the half.
Julien Lewis of Fresno
State was high scorer for the game with 23 points. Marvelle Harris
added 12 points for the Bulldogs.
