Musketeer Madness

The 5-3 Blue Hens invade Cintas tonight at 6:30. FS1 with PBP Jeff Levering and analysis LaVall Jordan

Xavier has the advantage in height tonight so driving should be the optimum word for Des, McKnight, and Quincy. Their center is averaging 18 points a game so they will emphasize the inside game. While X has taller players the Blue Hens are a team of 6'4" and above and are very experienced with Sen and Grad assistants and a spot-up shooter in sophomore 6'4" Cavan Reilly

Delaware averages 76.3 points per game while allowing opponents an average of 68.9 points. Delaware averages 14.6 assists and 38 rebounds.

The hens are on a 3-game losing streak with their last loss at Ohio 74-73

16-2 run at home by Delaware? Ouch. Our bigs have no hands. Thank goodness for Olivari. Des needs a shrink

flop on Abou's second foul

51.7% 55.6% 75% sounds good 9 turnovers that turned into 15 points, not good. Long scoreless minutes by X kept Delaware in the game along with 6-13 from three

Des 2-3 from three and Quincy with 17 points

Frustrating. Turn Overs, bad 3 pt. defense, Big Men lost on offense, Claude awful. With our height advantage we should have put them away by now. We had a good lead but could not build upon it and gave it all back. It is the little things that this team is still struggling with. Lazar passes up an easy lay up, he looks like he has no confidence. We still have a long ways to go. My buzz word is patience but it is wearing thin. I need to see more progress.

two possessions to turnovers by Abou

I know the guys are trying but it looks like we just push the ball up by our big guys in the hopes it will go in.

Gytis has taken one shot, why? We are sleepwalking AT HOME. Delaware is playing with more energy. Our big guys act like they are wearing oven mits

This team is afraid to win. They have battled back in a number of games but each time they get close to the lead or get a few points in front, they start turning it over. Quickly they are down several scores.

Quincy has scored more points than are next 4 highest scoring players. X can't protect a lead. 24 points off a turnover by Delaware.
