Delaware advances in America
East Tourney with 79-69 win
March 4, 2000
NEWARK, DE -- Behind 32 points by
senior Mike Pegues, the No. 3 seeded University of Delaware
eliminated No. 6 Towson, 79-69, in America East Quarterfinal
action Saturday night in front of a Bob Carpenter Center
record crowd of 5,267.
The win marked the ninth straight over
the Tigers. Delaware has eliminated Towson each of the last
three America East Tournaments in the quarterfinal
round.
Pegues hit 14 of 23 from the field in
recording his 12th career 30-point game. Delaware is now
11-1 when Pegues scores 30 points in a game.
Delaware jumped out to a 38-25 lead at
halftime as Pegues scored 18 points and grabbed seven of his
13 rebounds.
Towson rallied to within eight points at
50-42 with 11:20 remaining on Brian Barber's dunk. After a
three-pointer by Kesutis Marciulionis to put Delaware back
up by 11, Towson's Mike Shin hit a jumper and Josh Davalli
knocked down a three-pointer to cut the lead to
53-47.
However, Delaware scored the next seven
points, five of them coming at the free throw line, to take
a 60-47 lead with 6:38 to play. The Hens would not look back
the rest of the way.
"Even though we got off to the great
start, I never thought it was going to be easy because we
haven't had an easy time with Towson," said Delaware coach
Mike Brey. "I thought we showed a lot of poinse when the put
some game presure on us, cutting it to six, getting the ball
to the right people, making free thwos. I was really
impressed, though, with the way we rebounded the
basketball."
Delaware guard John Gordon left the game
with 16 minutes remaining after aggrevating his left foot -
the same one he injured earlier this season. He did not
return to the game, but was cleared to play if needed. He is
expected to play Sunday vs. Maine.
The Blue Hens take on the No. 2 seeded
Black Bears at approximately 2:30 p.m. in Sunday's second
semifinal. Top-seeded Hofstra faces No. 5 Drexel in the
first game of the day beginning at 12 noon.
