MICHAEL A. “MIKE” PEGUES
Men’s Basketball (1996-2000)
The all-time leading scorer in University of Delaware basketball history, Mike Pegues took the Blue Hens to new heights under Hall of Fame head coach Mike Brey.
A native of Forestville, Md., the soft-shooting Pegues tallied 2,030 career points from 1996-2000 and became the first University of Delaware men’s basketball player to be named conference Player of the Year (1999-2000).
The only three-time first team all-conference selection in school history, the powerful but smooth forward led the Blue Hens to America East Conference titles and NCAA Tournament berths in 1998 and 1999 and to the NIT Tournament in 2000.
A two-time All-District selection and a 2000 CoSIDA Academic All-American, Pegues was named the co-winner of the University-wide Alexander J. Taylor Outstanding Senior Male Student Award and was selected the UD Outstanding Senior Male Athlete of the Year in 2000.
He set numerous school records and averaged 21.8 points per game as a junior and 20.8 ppg as a senior. He was selected as the top player in UD basketball history in an internet fan poll as part of Delaware’s 100th Anniversary in 2005-06.
A 2000 communications graduate of Delaware, he served as a basketball coach at Friendship Collegiate Academy in Washington, D.C. and has followed with a successful NCAA Division I assistant coaching career at VCU, Delaware (2010-11), Xavier (2011-18), and Louisville (2018-present).
Following his career at Delaware, he played basketball overseas in Italy, New Zealand, England, and Argentina and played one season in the Continental Basketball Association.
