STORRS, CT � Five players
scored in double figures for Connecticut in an 85-67 American Athletic
Conference win over visiting East Carolina on Sunday.
Shonn Miller and N.C.
State transfer Rodney Purvis had 16 points for the Huskies (17-6,
7-3 AAC).
ECU (10-13, 2-8) got a
game-high 21 points from senior point guard Prince Williams.
Jalen Adams made seven
of eight field goal attempts in a 14-point effort for UConn, which
made 35 of 63 as a team for 55.5 percent.
Daniel Hamilton and
Sterling Gibbs each tallied 12 points for the Huskies.
Hamilton controlled 16
rebounds as UConn led 35-30 on the boards. Hamilton also had five
assists and three steals.
ECU did not shoot as
well as the hosts, dropping 23 of 62 field goal attempts for 37.1
percent. The Pirates partially offset that performance by making 14

UConn's Phillip Nolan.
The Pirates trailed
42-33 at the break.
A layup by ECU's
Clarence Williams tied the score at 17 with 11:27 left in the first
half. UConn went ahead to stay at 19-17 on a basket in the paint by
Adams.
Williams scored with
17:17 remaining to get the Pirates within 46-41. The Huskies
subsequently led by 21 points on two occasions.
B.J. Tyson had 11 points
and three assists for ECU. Kentrell Barkley finished with nine
points and three assists.
