GREENVILLE — Central Florida
overcame a 10-point second half deficit for a 71-68 win at East Carolina
on Saturday night in the American Athletic Conference opener for both
teams.
A.J. Davis, a transfer
from Tennessee, had 23 points and six rebounds to lead the Knights.
He is the son of Antonio Davis, a former NBA All-Star for the
Indiana Pacers.
The Pirates (8-6, 0-1
AAC) opened the second half with a 15-2 run that provided a 40-30
lead with 15 minutes remaining.
"We had it rolling but
momentum is a funny thing," said ECU coach Jeff Lebo. "We miss a
dunk and we go down and get called for a foul."
Prince Williams had a
driving slam attempt pop off the rim with 5:11 to go and ECU leading
56-49.
"We missed a load
because of their size and length in the basket area," Lebo said.
The Knights started
Tacko Falls, who is 7 feet, 6 inches. Justin McBride, who is 6-10
and 325 pounds, had 13 rebounds for the Knights.
The Pirates made 23 of
66 from the field for 34.8 percent.
UCF (7-5, 1-0) had a
45-35 rebounding advantage. Kentrell Barkley and Clarence Williams
had six rebounds each for the Pirates.
Lebo cited free throws
and three of 19 shooting from the point guard position as deciding
factors as well.
UCF was 21 of 26 at the
line while East Carolina was 15 of 23.
Prince Williams was
three of 12 from the point. Lance Tejada missed all five of his
shots and Charles Foster was 0-for-2.
Prince Williams had
seven assists but missed a 3-pointer to tie at the close of the
game.
The Pirates were seven
of 23 behind the arc.
B.J. Tyson led ECU with
17 points. Caleb White had 16 points for the Pirates. Barkley had 14
points and Prince Williams added 11.
Clarence Williams had
six points in the loss and Kanu Aja scored four.
Mike Zangari sustained a
shoulder injury. His status is not known for a 7 p.m. game Tuesday
at Tulsa.
The
Brian Bailey Show airs on Pirate
Radio 1250 on Mondays at 6:30 p.m.
