UNC Greensboro 65, Delaware 50 December 8, 2001 Blue Hens Struggle From Outside, Fall to Defending SoCon Champs Austen Rowland led the Hens with 10 points and five assists GREENSBORO, NC -- Forward David Schuck led four scorers in double figures with 14 points, pulled a game-high nine rebounds, and blocked three shots as host UNC Greensboro put the clamps on the University of Delaware's outside shooting and posted a 65-50 non-league men's basketball victory over the Blue Hens Saturday night at Fleming Gym. UNCG (5-1), a 2001 NCAA Tournament participant as the Southern Conference champions, won its fourth straight game and remained unbeaten at home with the victory. Delaware, closing out its two-game swing through North Carolina, fell to 3-4 overall as junior guard Austen Rowland was the team's only double figure scorer with 10 points to go with five assists. The Hens defeated High Point Thursday night 78-63. The Blue Hens, who entered the game as the leading three-point shooting team in the Colonial Athletic Association with 7.3 per game, managed to hit just 3 of 17 from beyond the three-point arc for the game and just 1 of 11 in the second half. Delaware shot just 32.8 percent from the field (20 of 61) for the game and committed 18 turnovers. UNCG also got 11 points from guard Courtney Eldridge, including the 1,000th of his career, while Jay Joseph added 10 points and seven rebounds and James Maye added 10 points and eight rebounds. The tightly-fought first half featured eight ties and finished with the teams knotted at 26-26 as Delaware's Sean Knitter hit a jumper with 38 seconds remaining in the stanza. UNCG controlled the early going of the second half but the Hens trailed just 35-34 with 15:02 left to play on a basket by Dave Hindenlang (team-high eight rebounds). But the Spartans took off on an 18-4 run to take control at 53-38 with 7:32 left to play. The Hens never got closer than 12 points the rest of the way. Joseph scored six points in the run to pace UNCG. Maurice Sessoms and Robin Wentt also added eight points each for the Blue Hens with Wentt adding three blocked shots. Delaware will take a week off for exams and will return to action next Saturday, Dec. 15 vs. Rider in Trenton, NJ.
