East Carolina turned
up the defensive pressure in the middle of the second half, forcing
five turnovers over a four-minute span and scoring 15 straight
points to seize the lead and the momentum in a 71-62 victory over
UNC-Greensboro Friday night in the Greensboro Coliseum.
Trailing 52-43 with
10:36 remaining, the Pirates (5-4) unleashed a full-court press that
triggered the reversal in the teams' fortunes. When they flurry of
takeaways subsided and the run culminated on a free throw by
freshman guard Paris Roberts-Campbell at the 6:53 mark, ECU found
itself ahead 58-52 and in charge of the game.
Roberts-Campbell
recorded 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and an assist during the
blitz and the Spartans were unable to pull closer than 4 the rest of
the way.
Junior guard Miguel
Paul scored 17 points and senior forward Darrius Morrow and junior
forward Maurice Kemp each had 13 points for the Pirates.
Sophomore forward
Trevis Simpson, who helped UNCG (2-9) build an advantage of as much
as 10 points in the first 9 minutes of the second half, led all
scorers with 24 points. Junior guard Korey Van Dussen added 11
points and senior forward Aaron Brackett contributed 10 for the
Spartans.
The outcome spoiled
the debut of UNCG interim coach Wes Miller, who was named to the
position after the resignation of ECU alum and two-times Spartans
head coach Mike Dement earlier in the week. Miller, like ECU coach
Jeff Lebo, is a former UNC-Chapel Hill player.
East Carolina led at
the half 28-26.
The Pirates return
home for a Monday night matchup with Coastal Carolina at 7 p.m. The
9-1 Chanticleers number among their victims LSU and Clemson.
