On a cold, snowy night, the East Carolina University men’s basketball team responded from home losses to both the Wichita State Shockers and the Houston Cougars with a dominant, electric 90-52 victory over the University of South Florida to sweep the season series.
The last time these two teams met was on Jan. 3 in Florida where the Pirates stole a 67-65 victory against the Bulls. The Bulls wanted revenge for that loss but they were in for a long night.
ECU (8-10, 2-5 AAC) played stellar defense throughout the game to where, USF (7-12, 0-6 AAC) only had nine points in the first 10 minutes of the game, with the Pirates up 24-9.
