February 22, 2001 Miller Leads the Way as Blue Hens Shoot the Lights Out
NEWARK, DE -- All five University of Delaware starters scored in double figures led by Greg Miller's career-high 20 points and the Blue Hens connected on 10 of 11 three-pointers in the second half en route to a 91-68 America East men's basketball victory over the University of Vermont Thursday night at the Bob Carpenter Center. The game was delayed 50 minutes as two officials arrived to the game late due to a snowstorm that dumped over five inches of snow on the Delaware Valley Thursday afternoon. Delaware (17-9, 13-4), which won its fourth straight game, shot 60 percent from the field for the game, including an incredible 82.6 percent in the second half, hitting on 19 of 23 attempts from the field. Overall, Delaware hit on 13 of 21 three-pointers, including 10 of 11 in the second half. Miller, a senior guard, hit on 6 of 7 shots from the field and 5 of 6 from the three-point line to lead the Blue Hens with a career-high 20 points. Sophomore guard Austen Rowland was 7 of 8 from the field and 3 of 4 from the three-point line for 19 points to go with nine assists while guard Billy Wells and forward Ajmal Basit each scored 11 points and forward Maurice Sessoms added 10 points and a team-high seven rebounds. Vermont (10-16, 6-11), which had a two-game win streak snapped, got a game-high 22 points and seven rebounds from center Matt Sheftic while Tony Orciari added 13 points and Trevor Gaines chipped in with 10 points and seven rebounds. The Catamounts dropped to 0-14 all-time playing at Delaware (0-9 at the Bob Carpenter Center) and 0-18 all-time against all opponents in the state (0-13 at the BCC). After Delaware took a 33-29 lead into halftime, Vermont came out in the second half and tied the game at 37-37 three minutes into the stanza. But it was all Delaware after that. The Hens embarked on a 13-3 run, led by 11 points from Wells, to go up 50-40 with 14:32 left to play. After the Catamounts chipped away at the lead and cut the score to 53-47 with 10:03 left, Delaware stormed off on an 18-6 run to put the game away, going up 71-53 with 5:45 left. Rowland scored 11 points during the second run. AGATE: OFFICIAL BASKETBALL BOX SCORE -- G A M E T O T A L S
