Senior wing K.C. Rivers
had 18 points and sophomore guard Jerai Grant came off the bench to add
14 as No. 20 Clemson improved to 14-0 with a 79-66 victory over East
Carolina Saturday evening in Littlejohn Coliseum.
The loss marked the
Pirates' third in
three tries against Atlantic Coast Conference
foes in a little more than two weeks. N.C. State
defeated East Carolina 87-76 in Raleigh on Dec. 17 and
then-6th-ranked Wake Forest
ripped the Pirates 95-54 in
Greenville on Dec. 22.
Senior guard James Legan
scored a game-high 21 points, sophomore forward Jamar Abrams had 13 and
sophomore guard Brock Young contributed 11 points and a game-high 10
assists for East Carolina (8-5). ECU sophomore center Chad Wynn recorded
8 points and led all rebounders with 12.
Junior forward Trevor
Booker added 13 points and 9 boards and sophomore guard Terrence Oglesby
scored 10 points for the Tigers.
Clemson led at the half
41-35.
The game completed the
Pirates' non-conference slate. East Carolina hosts Tulane on Wednesday
at 7 p.m. to launch a 16-game Conference USA schedule.
