Pirates recalibrate
for run at Omaha |

 When
Cliff Godwin first
put on a Pirate
uniform to play
baseball for East
Carolina, Gary
Overton was in his
final year as the
team's head coach
and ball was played
at Harrington Field.
But change was underway. The
next year, Keith LeClair was
hired as the new head coach.
LeClair brought with him a
hunger for “Omaha,” the site
of the NCAA's National
Championship. ...

PHILADELPHIA —
Temple ran its winning streak to seven games with a 66-53 American
Athletic Conference victory over visiting East Carolina on Saturday
afternoon.
After trailing 34-18 at
the half, the Pirates made seven of 15 attempts from behind the arc
in the second half including four in a row that closed the Owls'
lead to 51-40.
That was as close as ECU
could get although Temple went scoreless the last 4:20. The Pirates
managed just five points in that span.
The Owls had a sizeable
rebounding advantage (49-26) as Jaylen Boyd grabbed 16 for the
hosts.
Terry Whisnant led ECU
(11-14, 4-8 AAC) with 13 points. Freshman B.J. Tyson scored nine and
classmate Lance Tejada added eight. Tejada also had four of the
Pirates' 14 assists.
Marshall Guilmette had
seven points, Caleb White scored six and Paris Roberts-Campbell
netted five.
Michael Zangari had a
team-high six rebounds.
ECU committed just seven
turnovers. Temple was 18 of 29 at the free throw line compared to
seven of nine for the Pirates.
Will Cummings hit all
seven of his foul shots and paced the Owls with 17 points.
Jesse Morgan had 14
points in the win and Josh Brown tallied 10 for Temple, which
improved to 19-7 overall and 10-3 in league play.
The road doesn't get any
easier for ECU, which visits Tulsa for a 7 p.m. tipoff Wednesday (ESPNU).
The Golden Hurricane
edged the Pirates 66-64 in Greenville on Jan.
24 despite a 22-point effort by Whisnant.
A 70-45 loss at
Connecticut on Thursday dropped Tulsa to 17-7 overall and 10-2 in
the AAC. The Golden Hurricane will have a six-day layoff before
facing the Pirates.
Landing
the kind of big-play
athletes on offense during
recruiting East Carolina
needed would have hit a snag
at many schools that lost an
offensive coordinator and
offensive line coach at a
critical time in the
process. ...
