Evaluation simple on QB
situation |

 The
East Carolina quarterback
situation will get a lot of
Dave Nichol's attention in
the offseason with the exit
of Shane Carden, who started
for most of the last three
seasons and recently took
part in the NFL combine
after a record breaking
college career and a couple
of conference offensive
player of the year awards.

UConn rallies again |
In a game that
progressed similarly
to an earlier
American Athletic
Conference matchup,
Connecticut was too
much for East
Carolina in the
second half on
Wednesday night
before a black-out
crowd of 6,856 in
Williams Arena at
Minges Coliseum.
The 2014 NCAA Tournament
champions overcame a 33-24

ORLANDO, FL — Terry Whisnant
made a 3-pointer from the right side with 1:04 left for a 66-64 East
Carolina lead and the Pirates made enough free throws down the stretch
on Saturday afternoon at Central Florida to nail down their first road
win of the season, 71-66.
ECU (13-16, 6-10
American Athletic Conference) used a balanced scoring effort that
included 14 points from Caleb White, 13 from Antonio Robinson, 13
from freshman B.J. Tyson and 11 from Whisnant.
In contrast to
a 60-49 home loss to Connecticut,
which the Pirates led 33-24 at the half on Wednesday night, the last
20 minutes were ECU's best in their second meeting with the Knights.
The Pirates had
topped UCF at home by a
67-49 margin on Feb. 7.
ECU outscored their
hosts 46-35 in the second half Saturday to sweep the season series.
The Pirates made 17 of
27 from the field in the second half, a torrid 63 percent, after
dropping 11 of 22 in the first half for 50 percent.
ECU made 57.1 percent of
its shots for the game. The Pirates sank seven of 16 threes for 43.8
percent.
"Both teams,
offensively, were really sharp," said Pirates coach Jeff Lebo.
The Knights (12-16,
5-12) finished at 52.3 percent from the floor.
"We made some shots the
second half and we moved the ball well," Lebo said. "We attacked
their man and their zone awfully well. We finished off possessions
offensively with high percentage shots that went in for us."
The high degree of
offensive execution produced eight assists for Robinson and five for
Whisnant. Robinson assisted on the go-ahead three by Whisnant with
64 seconds remaining.
Marshall Guilmette
scored eight points, all in the second half, hitting both of his
attempts from beyond the arc.
White snared a team-high
five rebounds on a day with relatively few missed shots and Paris
Roberts-Campbell had three steals for the Pirates in 15 minutes.
Michel-Ofik Nzege had
six points in 14 minutes, finishing with four fouls. Kanu Aja
provided four points in five minutes.
White had 10 points
after intermission and Whisnant warmed up for nine points in the
second half.
"How about Whisnant?"
Lebo said. "He'd been struggling, but finally makes the big one
there."
Whisnant, a junior who
transferred from Florida State, had missed all four of his 3-point
attempts before finding the range and putting the Pirates ahead to
stay.
After Whisnant connected
from in front of the ECU bench with 1:04 to go, Robinson, Whisnant
and Tyson made free throws to seal the outcome.
ECU finished eight for
14 at the line.
White, Guilmette,
Robinson and Tyson had rebounds for ECU in the final 44 seconds.
The Pirates host Temple
on Thursday at 7 p.m. (ESPNU) and will recognize Francis Edosomwan,
Roberts-Campbell and Robinson for Senior Night.
The Owls
defeated ECU 66-53 in Philadelphia
on Feb. 14. A 66-54 home win over Houston on Thursday night put
Temple at 20-9 overall and 11-5 in league play.
The Pirates are
currently seventh among 11 teams in the American standings.
