Delaware 84, LaSalle 78 OT November 24, 2001 Mike Ames sent the game into overtime with a three-pointer with four seconds left in regulation NEWARK, DE -- Sophomore guard Mike Ames sent the game into overtime with a three-pointer with four seconds left in regulation and junior guard Ryan Iversen scored six points in the extra session as the University of Delaware edged LaSalle 84-78 in a non-league men's basketball game Saturday evening at the Bob Carpenter Center. The Blue Hens (2-2), who snapped a two-game losing streak, defeated the Explorers (2-2) for just the second time in 20 all-time meetings and for the first time since Dec. 12, 1931. LaSalle had a two-game win streak snapped. Junior guard Austen Rowland led four players in double figures scoring with 21 points, including five three-pointers, while Maurice Sessoms added 17 points and a career-high 12 rebounds, Ames added 13, and Iversen chipped in with 10. Ames, who was coming off a career-high 24-point effort in the Hens' last outing vs. Bowling Green, also hit on three of seven three-pointers as the Hens hit on 10 of 22 shots from beyond the arc. All-American forward Rasual Butler led the Explorers with 25 points and 10 rebounds while senior guard Julian Blanks connected on 5 of 11 three-pointers and finished with 23 points. Delaware outrebounded LaSalle by a 47-38 margin. After breaking out to a 32-27 halftime lead, Delaware led for virtually the entire second half until Blanks put on a three-points shooting display, connecting on four straight long-range bombs to put LaSalle up 57-55 with 5:45 left to play. The Explorers held that lead until the final minute when Ames hit a three-pointer with four seconds left to tie the game at 73-73 and send the game into overtime. LaSalle scored the first basket of the extra session but it was all Delaware after that. Iversen completed a three-point play to break a 75-75 tie and put the Hens up for good with 2:47 left to play. Ames followed with another three-pointer and Iversen was good on three free throws in the final 32 seconds to secure the victory.
