January 5, 1999 at Newark, DE NEWARK, DE -- University of Delaware senior guard Tyrone Perry sent the game into overtime with a late basket and scored seven of his 11 points in overtime and LeVar Folk missed a twisting shot in the lane with one second left as the host Blue Hens held on for a 75-74 America East men's basketball victory over Boston University Tuesday night at the Bob Carpenter Center. Delaware (10-2, 3-0 America East), which got 15 points each from forward Mike Pegues and guard John Gordon and 14 off the bench from guard Kestutis Marciulionis, extended the nation's 14th longest home winning streak to 14 games. Pegues, the nation's No. 2 leading scorer at 25.4 points per game, fouled out with 6:24 left in regulation. Forward Walter Brown scored 21 points and pulled 10 rebounds and Jean Avebe came off the bench to score a career-high 16 points for Boston University (5-6, 1-2), which had a two-game win streak snapped. The game was a rematch of last year's America East championship game won by Delaware. Delaware took a 35-27 halftime lead but Boston University quicky recovered and took a six point lead at 61-55 on a Mike Costello three-pointer with 3:20 left. After Delaware tied the score, BU went up 67-63 on a dunk by Brown with 53 seconds left. But Delaware rallied as Greg Miller hit a layup and two free throws and Perry hit a jumper in the lane with seven seconds left to send the game into the extra session. Perry opened up the extra session with a three-pointer and followed with a jumper and two free throws, but the Terriers tied the score at 74-74 on a Brown layup with 34 seconds left. Delaware's Madou Diouf gave the Hens the lead with one free throw with 15 seconds left. Folk then missed a twisting layup in the lane just before the final buzzer.
