November 25, 1998 Washington, DC Delaware 93, Howard 74 Delaware took charge after halftime, riding the hot-shooting Mike Pegues on the way to the easy road victory in Washington. Pegues, who hit on 12 of 16 field goals and 10 of 11 free throws and pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds, scored 28 of his season and career-high tying 34 points and the Blue Hens shot 69 percent from the field in the second half (18 of 26) and 62 percent for the game (33-53) on the way to the win. The win upped Delaware's record to 4-0, the best for a Blue Hen team since the 1991-92 NCAA Tournament squad started out 4-0 on the way to a 27-4 mark. Tyrone Perry hit for 17 points and dished out five assists, Kestutis Marciulionis had his second straight big game off the bench with 13 points, and Greg Miller chipped in with 11 points to lead the way. Howard (0-4) got 24 points from forward Melvin Watson and 18 points and nine assists from point guard Ali Abdullah. Delaware took a 40-37 halftime lead but poured it on in the second stanza, using an 11-3 run midway through the half to go up 68-52 with 12 minutes left. The Hens hit on 10 of 21 three-pointers, one shy of the school record 11 set the previous week vs. Delaware State |
