N.C. State's long hunt officially over

 

N.C. State made it official on Saturday, introducing Detroit Pistons assistant Sidney Lowe as its head basketball coach.

Lowe helped the Wolfpack to the NCAA championship in 1983 under the guidance of former coach Jim Valvano.

He replaces Herb Sendek, who left the post last month to become head coach at Arizona State. Lowe has not coached on the college level and was 79-228 as an NBA head coach.

Lowe will remain with the Pistons during the playoffs and will begin his duties at NCSU on July 1.


ECU gains berth in C-USA Softball Tourney

East Carolina secured a berth in the 2006 Conference USA Softball championship with a little help from league rival Houston Saturday, according to a report on ecupirates.com.

ECU swept a C-USA doubleheader from Central Florida, but didn't clinch a spot in the tournament until Houston defeated Memphis in game two of its series.

The Pirates took game one from UCF, 2-1, in 11 innings, and then held off their the Golden Knights, 8-6, in game two.

With its victories on Saturday, ECU extended its C-USA winning streak to five games and improved to 12-11 in league games and 38-22 overall. UCF dropped to 4-19 in the conference and 19-36 overall.
