Terrence Oglesby sank six 3-pointers en route to a season-high 25 points while K.C. Rivers added 20. Trevor Booker had a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

After opening the season 8-1, East Carolina has lost three straight games. It dropped consecutive games to ACC foes North Carolina State and Wake Forest before losing 63-55 to Coastal Carolina.

Brock Young was the lone Pirates player in doubles figures Sunday, collecting 16 points and eight rebounds.

Leading scorer Sam Hinnant, who is averaging 16.1 points per game, tied a season-low with just nine points on 3-of-15 shooting.

He is 5-of-27 in his last two games, including 4-of-20 from 3-point range.
