ECU beats State, gets first-ever win over an ACC team

Posted Dec 9, 2007

East Carolina's men's basketball team isn't winless against the Atlantic Coast Conference anymore. And N.C. State's first-ever trip to Minges Coliseum will prove to be a night the Wolfpack and the Pirates will never forget. ECU upset its archrivals from Raleigh 75-69 Saturday night, recording the Pirates' first win against ACC competition in 58 tries. East Carolina junior guard Sam Hinnant had a night players dream about, pouring in a career-high 30 points, including six 3-pointers. (Greenville Daily Reflector)
