GREENVILLE — After trailing
winless Florida A&M 29-27 at the half, East Carolina outscored the
Rattlers 48-28 after intermission for a 75-57 nonconference win at
Williams Arena in Minges Coliseum on Monday night.
ECU was led by Caleb
White with 19 points as the Pirates improved to 6-6. Michel-Ofik
Nzege added 14 points and a team-high six rebounds.
Freshman B.J. Tyson had
11 points off the bench. Paris Roberts-Campbell added eight points
in a reserve role in his second game back from a knee injury.
Mike Zangari had six
points and five rebounds in 19 minutes as ECU had a 36-34 rebounding
advantage.
Terry Whisnant was
limited to five points as he went one for six on field goal tries
and missed all four of his 3-point attempts. He offset his shooting
struggles with four assists.
Kanu Aja had four points
in nine minutes.
The Pirates made 28 of
64 field goal attempts for 43.8 percent and were 12 of 16 at the

prospects, albeit a 2012
model. The Pirates went back
in the stacks to snare James
Summers, who quarterbacked
Greensboro's Page High
School to the state 4-AA
