After a two week lay-off, East Carolina University’s men's basketball team blew a five-point halftime lead to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte losing 69-50 tonight.

The Pirates (5-5) struggled making shots in the second half and only scored 19 points all together in the 10 minute frame. Failing to make shots led to more opportunities for the 49ers (4-6), resulting in a 24-point swing.
