GREENVILLE — Derrick Wiley
scored a game-high 26 points to lead a well-rounded East Carolina
offensive and defensive effort that overpowered visiting Radford 87-50
Tuesday night.
Wiley converted 10 of 18
shots from the field and had six rebounds and ECU as a team made field
goals at a blistering pace down the stretch to break open what had been
a close game in its early stages.
Gabriel Mikulas scored 15
points and Erroyl Bing and Mike Cook notched 10 points apiece for the
Pirates, who boosted their record to 8-1. Cook also contributed seven
rebounds and five assists.
East Carolina trailed
13-12 early but Wiley responded with back-to-back 3-pointers to ignite a
20-6 run. The Pirates led 34-21 at halftime and never looked back,
shooting 69 percent from the field after intermission and outscoring the
Highlanders (4-6) in the final frame by 24.
Whit Holcomb-Faye, the
brother of former ECU point guard Travis Holcomb-Faye, had 13 points,
nine rebounds and five assists for Radford,which shot 30 percent from
the field. Kyle Zaharias finished with 10 for the Highlanders, who made
only 1-of-14 from 3-point range.
The Pirates return to
action on Saturday, Jan. 3, in an 8 p.m. matchup in Oxford, Miss.,
