STORYLINES
• Delaware wraps up its three-game homestand tonight as the Blue Hens host William & Mary in a rematch of the 2014 CAA Tournament Final.
• The Blue Hens lead the all-time series with the Tribe, 22-8, and have won the last seven meetings between the two schools.
• UD is 18-2 in the last 20 meetings with William & Mary, including 10-2 under Monté Ross. The Tribe swept the season series in 2009-10, its only wins over Delaware since 2001-02.
• Delaware has won nine of the last 10 meetings with the Tribe in Newark, including three straight. William & Mary's lone victory during that time was a 74-73 overtime triumph on Jan. 6, 2010 when the Tribe erased a seven-point deficit with 32 seconds left in the extra session.
• The Blue Hens took all three games from the Tribe a year ago, including the dramatic 75-74 victory in the conference tournament championship game. Delaware trailed by six points with 1:20 remaining, but closed the game with a 7-0 run. Carl Baptiste scored the go-ahead bucket with 12 seconds left, before Marcus Thornton's last second jumper was just long.
• The Tribe leads the CAA in field goal percentage (48.7%), field goal percentage defense (40.9%), and three-point percentage (40.7%). Thornton ranks second in the league with 19.6 points per game and is the CAA's active leading scorer with 1,853 career points.
