East Carolina University’s men’s basketball team (10-14, 4-9 AAC) took to the road and defeated the University of Tulane (13-12, 4-9 AAC), 82-80, while senior guard B.J. Tyson became the American Athletic Conference’s All-time leading scorer, last night.

In these teams meeting, the Green Wave walked away with a 71-69 victory on Jan. 31 in Minges Coliseum. Tyson had a miraculous game-tying layup to send the game to overtime, but ECU committed a crucial turnover at the end of the game to seal the defeat.
