The last time a Starks shined under the bright lights of the World’s Most Famous Arena, he was leading the Knicks during one of their glory periods in the 1990s.  And like his namesake, Bryant’s Dyami Starks displayed a flair for the dramatic and penchant for long distance bombing on Saturday when Bulldog faithful took over Madison Square Garden in a game against Delaware as part of the BlackRock Gotham Classic.  Starks matched his career-high with 35 points, including a remarkable 8-9 shooting performance from long range in a 108-107 overtime setback to a Blue Hen team expected to contend for the CAA title.  He also added a season-high eight rebounds and three assists.  Starks hit back-to-back three-pointers to twice regain the lead for the Bulldogs in the latter stages of the contest, then assisted on an Alex Francis layup with 0.8 seconds remaining that sent the game to overtime.  It marked his NEC-high fourth 30-point game of the season, and he set a new personal-best and Bryant DI record for single-game three-pointers.  The eight trifectas also tied for the NEC single-game high this season.  The Duluth, MN native leads the NEC and ranks 11th nationally with 22.8 ppg.  Starks, a three-time Choice Hotels/NEC Player of the Week  is also the league leader with 3.58 three-pointers per game.
