LAS VEGAS — Arkansas-Little
Rock found enough offense in the second half to top East Carolina 54-46
in a Las Vegas Invitational defensive battle at Orleans Arena on
Thursday.
The Pirates led 23-15 at
the half. An 8-0 run put the Trojans ahead 37-29.
B.J. Tyson had 12 points
and eight rebounds for ECU (2-3), which was beset by 22 turnovers.
Little Rock (4-0)
committed just six turnovers and got a game-high 13 points from
Marcus Johnson Jr. Josh Hagins added 11 points for the Trojans.
"A frustrating day for
us," said Pirates coach Jeff Lebo. "Defensively, we played well
enough to win this basketball game if we were just halfway decent
offensively."
ECU made just four of 16
field goal attempts in the final 20 minutes, 25 percent.
Little Rock was three
for 25 in the first half (12 percent) and 12 for 32 (37.5 percent)
in the second half.
Michel Nzege had seven
rebounds as the Pirates held a 44-31 rebounding advantage. Lance
Tejada had six points for ECU. Mike Zangari and Prince Williams
scored five points each.
Williams had a team-high
four assists.
ECU wraps up its Las
Vegas outing with a contest against Stetson at 5 p.m. today. The
Hatters advanced to the matchup by defeating Bethune-Cookman 83-70
Thursday night.
