February 24, 2000 Diouf Leads Blue Hens to Rare Road Win at Vermont
BURLINGTON, VT -- Senior swingman Madou Diouf came off the bench to score a career-high 20 points and pull 13 rebounds as the University of Delaware jumped out to a big first half lead and held on for a rare win at Patrick Gymnasium Thursday night, downing host Vermont 74-72 in America East men's basketball action. The Hens, who won at Vermont for the first time since 1993-94 and for the first time ever under head coach Mike Brey, clinched third place in the America East standings with the win, which improved Delaware to 21-6, 13-4. Mike Pegues led the Hens with 24 points and John Gordon chipped in with 16 points, including four three- pointers, as Delaware won its fifth straight game. Vermont, which lost for just the second time at home in league play this season, fell to 15-11, 10-7 despite 31 points from swingman Tony Orciari and 12 points each from Toby Carberry and Trevor Gaines. Gaines pulled a team-high 11 rebounds, Carberry dished out eight assists, and Orciari nailed six of eight three-pointers. Overall, the Catamounts were 10 of 15 from beyond the three-point line. The game looked like a runaway from the outset as the Hens jumped out to leads of 25-8 with 11:32 left in the first half and 40-14 with five minutes remaining before halftime. But the Catamounts refused to give up, outscoring the Hens 10-2 to cut the halftime lead to 42-24. Vermont kept up the momentum, outscoring the Hens 20-2 to start the second stanza. The Catamounts fired away for six three-pointer during the run, including three by Orciari, to cut the lead to 46-44 five minutes into the stanza. Vermont used another 10-0 run five minutes later to go up 59-54 with 10:29 left to play. Overall, the Vermont run was an amazing 30-4. Neither team led by more than three points the rest of the way as the lead changed hands five times. Pegues nailed two free throws and added a layup and Diouf scored inside to give the Hens a 70-68 lead with 2:45 left. Orciari hit one free throw to pull to within 70-69 but Pegues followed with two free throws. Orciari hit two more from the charity stripe to cut the lead to 72-71 with 1:57 left. Carberry had the chance to give the Catamounts the lead with 15 seconds left but his jumper missed and Diouf grabbed the rebound and was fouled. The Senegal native sank two free throws for what proved to the game winner with 11 seconds left. Orciari went to the line with three seconds left and hit one free throw but intentionally missed the second. The rebound was tapped around several times before going out of bounds as the horn sounded.
