and walk
off with
the

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.
Kentrell Barkley also
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.
B.J. Tyson was limited
to two points on a dunk but had a team-high six assists.
The Pirates were
outrebounded 41-17 and struggled at the free throw line, hitting
just five of 13.
Nic Moore led SMU (22-4,
10-4) with 22 points and seven assists. Markus Kennedy had 19 points
and nine rebounds for the Mustangs. Jordan Tolbert had 12 points and
