PHILADELPHIA � Despite
trailing by 11 points in the first half, Temple rallied for a 78-60
American Athletic Conference win over East Carolina before 4,524 fans at
the Liacouras Center on Saturday night.
Quenton DeCosey was five
of eight behind the arc to lead the Owls (8-6, 3-1 AAC) with 24
points.
DeCosey had 17 points in
the second half as Temple outscored ECU 45-22 in the final 20
minutes.
"Our best first half of
the season but we've got to play 40 minutes," said Pirates coach
Jeff Lebo.
Caleb White scored 11 of
his team-high 14 points for ECU in the first half. Clarence Williams
had 10 of his 12 points for the Pirates in the opening period.
ECU led 38-30 and called
time with 33 seconds left in the half to set up a play. Prince
Williams missed a jumper with four seconds to go and Devin Coleman
hit a three in transition for Temple that appeared to swing
momentum.
Two free throws by Mike
Zangari with 10:42 left tied the score at 50 but the Owls went on a
21-4 run to take control.
Temple made 17 of 29
field goal attempts in the second half, 58.5 percent.
Zangari had six of his
eight points after intermission and led ECU's rebounding with five.
Prince Williams had nine points and five assists without a turnover.
B.J. Tyson and Kentrell
Barkley scored six points each for the Pirates.
Coleman finished with 17
points for Temple. Josh Brown added 12 points and eight assists for
the Owls.
ECU (8-8, 0-3) will host
Southern Methodist at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday night.
