STORYLINES
• Delaware opens its CAA schedule on Saturday by hosting league favorite Northeastern. The Blue Hens are 8-5 in CAA openers, including 5-3 under Monté Ross. UD has won its last four conference openers.
• Today's game is the start of a four games in eight days stretch for UD, which will play three consecutive road games in six days starting Monday at Hofstra.
• Delaware picked up its first win of the season with Tuesday's 82-77 triumph over St. Bonaventure. UD posted season-highs of 82 points and a 53.7 field goal percentage. The Blue Hens also went 10 of 17 from three-point range.
• Kory Holden scored a season-high 27 points vs. the Bonnies, tied for the fourth most by a UD freshman in school history. Holden missed the final 1:32 with a knee injury but is expected to play vs. the Huskies.
• Five players reached double figures vs. St. Bonaventure, the first time this season UD had five players score double digits. Marvin King-Davis reached season-highs with 14 points and seven rebounds.
• Kyle Anderson scored 11 points, and needs to make just three more three-pointers to become UD's career leader in that category.
