Ol'

have
smiled
from ear

40
victories
and walk
off with
the
league's
top
trophy.

sixth straight game despite a 20-point effort by Prince Williams.
The senior point guard made four of five behind the arc as ECU went
12-for-24 (50 percent) on 3-pointers.

dropped four of five from long range as he registered 15 points.
Barkley also contributed eight rebounds and four assists.
Caleb White had 14
points and four assists.
Clarence Williams had
six points and Mike Zangari scored five.

10-4) with 22 points and seven assists. Markus Kennedy had 19 points
