Pegues Scores 25 Points to Lead Blue Hens to Victory

 

NEWARK, DE -- Senior forward Mike Pegues scored 25 points for the third straight game to lead five scorers in double figures as the University of Delaware posted an 87-77 America East men's basketball victory over Boston University Thursday night at the Bob Carpenter Center.

The Blue Hens broke open a close game in the second half to roll to their 34th straight win at home when scoring 80 or more points. The Hens improved to 17-6 (9-4 America East) with their fifth straight win over the Terriers.

Boston University (3-18, 2-10), which shot 56 percent from the field (29 of 52) and committed just 11 turnovers, lost its eighth, straight game and its 13th straight road game. Jean Avebe led five scorers in double figures with 19 points and eight rebounds while Jacob Kudlacz added 14 points and Dereck Franklin contributed 13 points and seven assists off the bench.

Kestutis Marciulionis added 15 points, Billy Wells and Austen Rowland each added 11, and John Gordon chipped in with 10 points and seven assists to lead a balanced Blue Hen effort. Delaware held a 34-26 advantage on the boards and committed just 10 turnovers.

Delaware took a 38-35 lead into halftime but the Terriers came out strong in the second half, taking a 47-46 lead with 14:47 left on two Ignacio Rodriguez free throws.

After two more ties, the Hens exploded with a 16-2 run to put the game away, taking command at 65-51 with 8:38 left to play. Madou Diouf, who finished with nine points and eight rebounds, led the way with seven points during the run while Pegues had six and Rowland added five points. The Terriers never got closer than eight points the rest of the way.

Pegues, Delaware's all-time leading scorer and the league's second leading scorer at 19.7 points per game this season, moved past the 1,800 career point mark during the game and scored in double figures for the 16th straight time.
