SCOUTING THE BLUE HENS

Delaware has won two of its last three contests to improve to 7-19 (2-13 CAA) on the season, a mark that puts them in sole possession of ninth place in the league with just three games remaining.
The Blue Hens are just 2-13 away from the Bob Carpenter Center in 2015-16, after opening their season with a 62-56 win at Delaware State and downing Marist in a 70-69 decision back on Dec. 12.
Sophomore guard Kory Holden continues to pace the Delaware offense with 17.7 points per game and 4.1 assists per contest. He leads four Blue Hens in double figures, as senior forward Marvin King-Davis (14.5), junior guard Cazmon Hayes (11.7) and sophomore guard Anthony Mosley (10.2)

SERIES HISTORY

JMU downed the Blue Hens in a 73-63 decision earliest this season in Newark, trimming Delaware's lead in the all-time series to 14-11 and marking the Dukes' third straight win in the series.
After Delaware won the first nine meetings between the two squads, JMU has earned wins in 11 of the previous 16, including five of the last eight at the Convocation Center.
When the schools met earlier this season, junior guard Jackson Kent notched his first career double-double to lead the Dukes to the win. Kent poured in a season-high 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while senior guard Ron Curry scored all 17 of his points in the second half.

LAST TIME OUT

Junior forward Yohanny Dalembert notched his fifth double-double of the season, but James Madison dropped a heartbreaking 95-94 decision to Northeastern in triple overtime on Thursday evening at the JMU Convocation Center.
The Dukes fell to 19-9 (9-6 CAA) in the loss but held Northeastern, the top three-point shooting team in the league, to just 37.3% (25-67) shooting from the field and 28.6% (10-35) from behind the arc. The Huskies improved to 15-13 (7-8 CAA) with the win.
Dalembert racked up a career-high 26 points and 10 rebounds in the loss, going 13-of-19 from the field and blocking a career-best five shots. The Port-au-Prince, Haiti, native was one of five Dukes to play at least 43 minutes on the evening, notching a career-high 45.
