NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Hinnant makes All C-USA freshmen team
Sam Hinnant became the fourth Pirate in
East Carolina's five seasons in the league to earn All-Conference USA
freshman honors. The 6-foot-2 guard from Charlotte is the only other player
besides second team
All-Conference selection Corey Rouse to
start all 27 games for East Carolina in 2005-06. Hinnant is second on the
team in scoring at 10.4 points per game.
Joining Hinnant on the all-freshman
squad are the Memphis duo of Shawne Williams and Chris Douglas-Robert,
Courtney Beasley of Southern Mississippi and Markel Humphrey of Marshall.
Williams was named the Freshman of the Year in voting by the league's 12
head coaches and select media members.
The awards were announced Tuesday by
the conference office in Irving, TX.
ESPN nixes Vitale's commentary
on CBS
Dick Vitale, on ESPN since its first
college basketball game in 1979, hasn't worked the NCAA men's college
basketball tournament. But CBS wanted him to call early-round action this
month, according to Michael Hiestand of USA Today.
ESPN didn't think it was a good idea.
"To me, this seemed like an obvious
no-brainer that would have benefited everyone," said Sean McManus, who
oversees CBS' sports and news divisions. "But I certainly respect ESPN's
decision."
Vitale says he's OK with it, too: "They
told me no way because I'm their signature voice. I'm flattered ESPN feels I
have that stature. If it were earlier in my career, it would have been a
bigger deal."
Seahawks are dancin'
UNC-Wilmington captured the Colonial
Athletic Association Tournament championship with a 78-67 win over Hofstra
on Monday night in Richmond. It was the Seahawks' fourth league tournament
title in seven years.
T.J. Carter scored 23 points as UNCW
improved to 25-7, including 16-3 since an
82-69 loss at East Carolina on Dec. 31.
The Seahawks are headed for the Big
Dance with a history of causing havoc for higher seeds.
