GREENVILLE — Tulane's
Jonathan Stark hit four of five attempts from beyond the arc as the
Green Wave took a 67-59 American Athletic Conference win over East
Carolina at Williams Arena in Minges Coliseum on Wednesday afternoon.
Stark scored 22 points
and Louis Dabney added 19 for Tulane (10-3, 1-0 AAC).
"Stark was unbelievable
today," said ECU coach Jeff Lebo. "He made bombs. He comes in the
game shooting 8-of-30 from three and he made four with the shot
clock expiring, like, Hail Maries. They had some guys make some
shots and (Kajon) Mack comes into the game 3-of-13, makes two
threes. Dabney and Stark, I thought, were terrific.
The Pirates (7-7,0-1)
were ahead 24-10 before Tulane had a 25-2 run to lead 35-26 at the
half.
ECU's Caleb White made
three 3-pointers in a row as the Pirates closed within a point with
11:45 left in the game.
ECU still trailed by one
when White drew a technical foul with 7:04 remaining that turned
into a five-point possession for the Green Wave.
"Obviously a big play in
the second half that didn't go our way with the technical foul on
Caleb," Lebo said. "They made two foul shots after the three and we
were down one at that point. That five-point play put the fourth
foul on Caleb, who had just made three threes in the game. So that
was one that didn't go in our favor. That call obviously changed the
game."
Lebo saw the play that
resulted in the technical foul on White.
"He kind of was running
and popped the ball back and happened to hit the kid from Tulane who
was boxing him out," Lebo said. "That was what I saw."
The Pirates were within
61-58 with 4:05 to go but missed their next six shots.
Paris Roberts-Campbell
paced the Pirates with 14 points and White had 11.
ECU returns to action at
South Florida on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Bulls (6-8) lost 83-49 at
Southern Methodist on Wednesday.
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.
