January 25, 2001 Wells Bombs Away as Blue Hens Win Seventh Straight
DURHAM, NH -- Senior guard Billy Wells scored 20 of his career-high 25 points in the first half and senior center Ajmal Basit took the national lead in double-doubles with 23 points and a career-high 17 rebounds as the University of Delaware fired away for an 88-74 America East men's basketball victory over host New Hampshire Thursday night at Lundholm Gymnasium. The Blue Hens (12-7, 8-2 America East) remained in first place in America East as they captured their seventh straight victory thanks to the hot shooting of Wells. Wells connected on 20 first half points, hitting five straight three-pointers, to stake Delaware to a 52-46 lead at intermission. Wells tied the UD record with five three-pointers in a half and tied another mark by extending his consecutive three-pointers made to eight before missing in the second half. Overall, Delaware connected on 9 of 21 three-pointers for the game and now have hit 50 treys in its last four meetings with New Hampshire. The Wildcats (5-14, 4-6), employing a system in which five new players enter the game after each media timeout, lost their third straight game despite 16 points from forward Assane Faye and 14 points from Marcus Bullock. Basit, a first-year transfer from Massachusetts, connected on 8 of 12 shots from the field and 7 of 9 from the line for 23 points and pulled a career-high 17 points for his 14th double-double of the season for Delaware, a mark that leads all NCAA Division I players. Austen Rowland and Ryan Iversen also chipped in with 12 points each with Rowland dishing out eight assists. "We weren't hitting shots and they were early and that got them the big lead," said Delaware head coach David Henderson, whose seven straight wins ties the UD record for most consecutive victories by a rookie head coach. "Our shots finally came around and we were able to come back. That was the difference." Delaware has now defeated New Hampshire seven straight times and have swept the series five times in the last six seasons. The Wildcats jumped out to a quick nine point leading, going up 32-23 with 8:43 left in the first half. Delaware took the lead 40-39 with 4:03 left on an Iversen three-pointer and went into intermission up 52-46 as Wells fired away with three straight three-pointers in the final 2:10 of the stanza. New Hampshire cut the lead to 56-52 four minutes into the second half, but Delaware countered with 14 straight points, including five from freshman Robin Wentt, to go up 70-52 with 11:27 left.
