TULSA, OK — East Carolina
struggled early at Tulsa on Tuesday night and absorbed a 55-43 American
Athletic Conference loss.
The Pirates made just
six of 33 field goal attempts in the first half (18.2 percent) and
committed 12 turnovers in the first 20 minutes to trail 37-14 at the
break.
"We missed a lot of
layups," noted ECU coach Jeff Lebo. "We made some adjustments at
half to keep them from scoring as easily down low against our zone.
... They're a good team. They've beaten Oklahoma State and Wichita
State here."
The Pirates (8-7, 0-2
AAC) outscored the Golden Hurricane 29-18 in the second half.
ECU was 0-for-13 behind
the arc before Kentrell Barkley's 3-pointer with 5:55 remaining cut
Tulsa's lead to 51-38.
Barkley led the Pirates
offensively with 10 points. Kanu Aja played 26 minutes with post
player Mike Zangari out with a shoulder ailment. Aja had nine points
and 11 rebounds.
The Pirates' frontcourt
was already thin with the losses of Marshall Guilmette and Deng Riak.
Tulsa played without
senior guard James Woodard, who was averaging 15.9 points. The
Golden Hurricane came into the contest averaging 74.9 points as a
team.
Caleb White and Clarence
Williams had six rebounds each as Tulsa held a narrow 43-42
advantage on the boards.
Michel Nzege was limited
to 11 minutes with four fouls.
Point guards Prince
Williams, Lance Tejada and Charles Foster combined for just five
points and three assists.
"The point guard is like
the quarterback," Lebo said. "We've got to get better play there.
Our expectations are higher for that position."
Tulsa (9-6, 1-2) was led
by Rashad Smith with 20 points and nine rebounds. Smith's jumper 14
seconds into the game put the hosts ahead to stay.
ECU made 11 of 24 shots
from the field in the second half for 45.8 percent.
Tulsa's biggest lead was
43-19 with 14:17 to go on a dunk by D'Andre Wright.
The Golden Hurricane
plays at ECU on Jan. 19 at 7 p.m.
The Pirates visit Temple
on Saturday for a 9 p.m. tipoff.
