STORYLINES
• Delaware has opened a season with seven consecutive losses for the fifth time in school history, and the first time since 2006-07. UD is one of three winless teams in Division I, along with Central Arkansas and Florida A&M.
• The Blue Hens welcome back senior guard Kyle Anderson and junior forward Marvin King-Davis to the lineup. Anderson will be making his debut following hand surgery, while King-Davis has not played since the season opener at Liberty due to a hamstring injury.
• Anderson, the team's lone returning starter from last year, needs 14 three-pointers to set a new UD career mark. He also is just 40 points shy of 1,000 for his career.
• Temple will also welcome two additions, as UMass transfer Jesse Morgan and Clemson transfer Devin Coleman become eligible for the Owls.
• Delaware is coming off an 11-day break due to final exams, having been off since the 66-53 setback to Delaware State on Dec. 7. This break is the program's longest since a 13-day break from Dec. 8-21, 1998.
• Temple leads the all-time series with the Blue Hens, 38-6, and the Owls have won the last 18 meetings between the two schools. Tonight's game is the fourth between Temple and Delaware since the start of the 2009-10 season, and the third being played in Newark.
