'Deuce' becomes No. 1

GREENVILLE — "Deuce" is how East Carolina football coach Ruffin McNeill refers to senior inside wide receiver Justin Hardy. It's because Hardy wears uniform No. 2.

HISTORY IN THE MAKING: A mammoth banner was unfurled from the Murphy Center soon after senior wide receiver Justin Hardy made his 350th career catch during East Carolina's 34-6 victory over Tulane on Saturday at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The play pushed Hardy past the previous NCAA FBS career receptions record set by Oklahoma's Ryan Broyles in 2011.

ESTERO, FL — East Carolina overcame an 11-point second half deficit to lead Hawaii with 8:18 left in the fifth-place game in the Gulf Coast Showcase on Wednesday before the Rainbow Warriors responded with a 14-3 run en route to a 75-73 win over the Pirates.

ECU finished 1-2 in the event and fell to 3-3 on the season as Hawaii's Roderick Bobbitt made three free throws in the final 13 seconds.

Garrett Nevels led Hawaii (6-2) with 19 points, Aaron Valdes tallied 15, Negus Webster-Chan had 11 and Bobbitt finished with 10.

The Pirates were led by freshman B.J. Tyson with a career-high 24 points. Sophomore Caleb White scored 18 in the setback and junior transfer Terry Whisnant added 13.

Nevels and Valdes each had nine rebounds to help the Rainbows to a 41-29 advantage on the boards. Hawaii scored 15 points off 16 offensive rebounds.

The Pirates countered by making 10 of 22 attempts from beyond the 3-point arc.

Hawaii closed the first half with an 8-0 run to lead 36-28 at the break.

"Our guys battled hard," said ECU coach Jeff Lebo. "After being down at halftime, we showed some fire in the second half. We rebounded better. We defended better and finally got out in transition and got some baskets. We just beat ourselves with two lackadaisical turnovers that were home run turnovers. The kids feel bad about them, but you can't have those kinds of things and expect to win."

The Pirates return to Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum to host Central Connecticut (0-5) at 2 p.m. Sunday.
