What to Know

The Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens are 4-12 against the #23 College of Charleston Cougars since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Saturday. Delaware and the Cougars will face off in a Colonial battle at 5 p.m. ET at TD Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Fightin' Blue Hens winning the first 67-66 on the road and College of Charleston taking the second 99-96.

Even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Delaware beat the Elon Phoenix 57-52 on Saturday. Four players on Delaware scored in the double digits: guard Jameer Nelson Jr. (15), guard Christian Ray (14), forward Jyare Davis (12), and guard LJ Owens (10).

Meanwhile, College of Charleston had enough points to win and then some against the North Carolina A&T Aggies on Wednesday, taking their contest 92-79. Guard Dalton Bolon was the offensive standout of the game for the Cougars, dropping a double-double on 22 points and ten boards.

The Fightin' Blue Hens are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past three games, so buyers beware.

Delaware is now 9-6 while College of Charleston sits at 15-1. Delaware is 5-3 after wins this season, College of Charleston 13-1.
