 Memphis dropped a game to East Carolina for the first time in school history. The previous nine meetings had all belonged to the Tigers, with an average victory margin of 16.4 points.

 The Tigers used a starting line-up of Antonio Barton, Will Barton, Tarik Black, Charles Carmouche and Chris Crawford, their 16th starting line-up this year, tying the Tigers with Georgia State for most starting line-up combinations in the nation.

 Freshman Antonio Barton led the Tigers in scoring for the fifth time this season, finishing with 15 points.

 For the second game in a row, only one Tiger (A. Barton) scored in double figures.

 Senior post Will Coleman blocked his 100th career shot.

 The Tigers doubled up ECU's points in the paint (36-18), the first time since Jan. 12 against SMU that Memphis doubled its opponents' points in the paint.

 Junior Charles Carmouche earned his 100th career steal, and also scored his 200th point in a Memphis uniform.

 Memphis turned 10 Pirate turnovers into 18 points, the third time since Jan. 26 Memphis has earned double-digits in points off turnovers.

 Freshman Will Barton pulled down his 100th career defensive rebound.

 Home Cookin': ECU more than doubled Memphis in free throws made (21-9) and attempted (29-14).

 After shooting 4-for-16 (25 percent) from beyond the arc against East Carolina, Memphis has now gone 12 games without shooting better than 35 percent from three-point territory.

 Sophomore D.J. Stephens scored his 100th career point.
