January 9, 2000 Delaware Rallies To Down Hofstra 85-81 in Men's Basketball
NEWARK, DE -- Senior John Gordon, playing his first home game of the season, scored 24 points, including six three-pointers, and senior forward Madou Diouf stepped to the forefront and added a career-high 14 points as the University of Delaware overcame foul trouble to post a thrilling 85-81 America East victory over Hofstra in a battle of league pre-season favorites Sunday afternoon at the Bob Carpenter Center. Delaware (11-3, 3-1 America East) won its second straight and extended its home winning streak to 14 games while Hofstra (7-5, 2- 1) had a four-game win streak snapped despite senior guard Craig Claxton netting his third 30-point game of the season with 31 points. Claxton connected on 16 of 18 free throws and also dished out five assists. Hofstra, which also got 15 points from forward Norman Richardson and 12 from guard Jason Hernandez, dropped its eighth straight game at Delaware. Senior guard Kestutis Marciulionis scored 18 points, including his 1,000th career point, and Mike Pegues added 11 points and pulled eight rebounds before fouling out with 10:07 left to play. Hofstra led by as much as 10 points in the first half on the way to a 34-30 cushion at intermission, taking advantage of a seven-minute scoring drought. Hofstra led the entire second half before the Hens tied the game at 51-51 with 11:55 left. But Hofstra went back up by seven points at 59-52 with 10:07 left. Delaware clawed back again and took the lead for good at 67-66 with 5:59 left on a three-pointer by Gordon. Hofstra cut the lead to 82- 80 on a deep three-pointer by Rick Apodaca with 21 seconds left, but Diouf hit a free throw with 18 seconds left and Austen Rowland nailed two with five seconds left to ice the game. The game featured 55 fouls between the two teams and five players fouled out. Delaware, already without the services of leading rebounder Darryl Presley due to a hairline fracture of his tibia, lost Pegues to fouls with 10:07 left and 7-1 center Ndongo Ndiaye to fouls 41 seconds later. The 6-5 Diouf stepped up and had his best career game, scoring 14 points and pulling four rebounds. Gordon, a first team All-America East selection in 1999, played just his third game of the season and first at home after missing the first 11 games of the season due to a foot fracture. Gordon nailed 6 of 11 three-pointers and played 39 points.
