GREENVILLE — East Carolina
built an early lead and defeated UNC-Greensboro 71-50 in Williams Arena
at Minges Coliseum on Sunday afternoon.
Terry Whisnant scored 14
of his 17 points in the first half as the Pirates led 45-26 at
intermission.
ECU (7-6) scored the
first seven points of the nonconference contest. The Pirates had a
29-13 run after the Spartans (4-9) had closed within 16-13 with 13
minutes left in the half.
ECU connected on 16 of
22 field goal attempts in the first 20 minutes, a blistering 72.7
percent.
"The first half was the
best we've played all year," said Pirates coach Jeff Lebo. "No doubt
about it. I really liked offensively how we shared the ball."
Whisnant had six assists
and Antonio Robinson had five.
UNCG was limited to 35
percent field goal shooting for the game.
"We defended very well,"
Lebo said. "Our doubles on their inside guys were effective. We got
them in foul problems in the second half and I didn't think we
played near as well. When they cut the lead down to 14, we made some
key plays and it went back up to 22. It was nice to be able to coast
to a win."
Caleb White added 14
points for ECU.
Ten Pirate players saw
10 minutes or more of playing time.
Michel-Ofik Nzege had 12
points in 18 minutes, making six of seven from the floor. Nzege and
Paris Roberts-Campbell each had five rebounds. Roberts-Campbell had
four assists.
Diante Baldwin led UNCG
with 19 points.
East Carolina hosts
Tulane (9-3) at noon Wednesday in the Pirates' first American
Athletic Conference game. ESPN News is scheduled to show the action.
East
Carolina has landed one of
North Carolina's top college
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
title in 2011 as a senior.
