Daily News | Temple lit up the free-throw line en route to a 73-58 conference win over East Carolina
The goal was to extend its win streak over East Carolina to four straight games. Temple did exactly that following a 73-58 win over the Pirates inside the Liacouras Center.
Temple’s Damian Dunn got back to his bread and butter on Wednesday night, finishing with a game-high 22 points, through a mix of driving the lane, causing fouls, and being efficient from the line, going 16 of 18 from the stripe. He’s now averaged nearly 27 points per game against the Pirates over the last two seasons.“It’s home,” Dunn said.
Forward Brandon Johnson hauled in a game-high 11 rebounds for the Pirates while Temple point guard Hysier Miller chimed in with three steals, also a game-high.Temple had struggles scoring early in the first half, scoring just five points in the first seven minutes of the game. A flagrant foul on sophomore forward Nick Jourdain fueled a 13-3 ECU run to put the Pirates ahead 15-5 with 13 minutes and 24 seconds remaining, leading to a 30-second Temple timeout.
