Greenville, N.C. ? Travis Holcomb-Faye scored 12 of his 15 points in the second half and East Carolina pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the college basketball season Tuesday night, holding No. 9 Marquette to six points over the final 121/2 minutes to stun the Golden Eagles 51-46.

Marquette (23-5, 12-3 Conference USA) had won 12 straight prior to a last-second loss four days ago to No. 4 Cincinnati. But the heavy underdog Pirates (12-16, 5-10) used a 2-3 zone defense to turn the Golden Eagles’ offense into a bunch of jump shooters.

It was the first win over a Top Ten team since the program began in 1960.
