TAMPA, FL — East Carolina
made a series of successful adjustments for a 52-39 American Athletic
Conference win at South Florida on Wednesday night.
Pirates coach Jeff Lebo
used a deeper rotation than in
the previous game with Cincinnati,
even though freshman Kentrell Barkley was out of action with
flu-like symptoms, which developed Tuesday night.
Barkley is averaging
10.7 points and a team-high 6.5 rebounds.
Barkley played all 40
minutes Saturday in a 65-56 home loss to the Bearcats, scoring 14
points, grabbing 13 rebounds and dishing out six assists without a
turnover.
Lebo did not start
senior point guard Prince Williams because he was three minutes late
for a team meeting.
USF had
defeated ECU 69-52 in Greenville
on Feb. 16 with Jahmal McMurray scoring 21 points and Nehemias
Morillo adding 18. McMurry had five points in 34 minutes in the
second meeting and Morillo was scoreless in 34 minutes.
"We kept our forwards in
tighter to the paint area," Lebo said of the tweaks in the zone that
allowed ECU (12-18, 4-13 AAC) to get its second straight league win
on the road.
Three of the Pirates'
AAC victories have been away from home this season.
Caleb White led ECU with
12 points and nine rebounds.
After being outrebounded
44-30 in the first meeting with the Bulls, the Pirates held a 40-38
advantage on the boards. Michel Nzege had eight rebounds.
Lance Tejada started in
place of Prince Williams and scored 11 points. B.J. Tyson had 10
points. Kanu Aja had eight points and five rebounds. Prince Williams
had five points, two assists and two steals.
Nzege, Clarence Williams
and Mike Zangari scored two points each.
Jaleel Cousins led USF
(7-23, 4-13) with 13 points but made just three of 10 free throws.
The Bulls' shooting woes
weren't limited to Cousins as the hosts went 15 of 54 from the field
for 27.8 percent. They were one of 15 behind the arc for 6.7
percent. USF was eight of 18 on free throws for 44.4 percent.
ECU was 18 of 50 from
the field (36 percent), five of 20 on threes (25 percent) and 11 of
15 at the line (73.3 percent).
The Pirates scored the
same number of points as in the first meeting with USF, but the
Bulls tallied 30 fewer in the second game.
"We really understood
the game plan very well," Lebo said. "We made some adjustments from
game one and we really did a good job on the two guys that hurt us
the first game, McMurray and Morillo. We knew if we could do the job
on them, they would have a hard time scoring. Credit out kids for
battling hard."
ECU went ahead to stay
when Tejada hit a 3-pointer for a 5-2 lead with 18:27 left in the
first half. The Pirates were on top 26-16 at intermission after
leading by as many as 13 in the opening 20 minutes.
ECU's margin reached 21
points three times in the second half.
The Pirates will
recognize Aja, Drew Bost, Peyton Robbins, Prince Williams and
Michael Zangari at Senior Day on Sunday when ECU hosts Memphis at 4
p.m. (CBSSN). The Tigers are 16-13 overall and 7-9 in the AAC going
into a game at Temple tonight.
