STORYLINES
• The Blue Hens wrap up a stretch of four games in eight days against Ivy League opponent Columbia.
• Today's game begins a stretch of six consecutive road games for UD, which will not play another home game until facing James Madison on Jan. 2.
• Delaware has won two consecutive games, defeating Bradley and USF at the Bob Carpenter Center. The victories marked the first time since the final two games of the 2012-13 season that the Blue Hens held consecutive opponents under 60 points.
• A win today would give Delaware is first 5-2 start since the 2010-11 squad also opened 5-2.
• Kory Holden scored a game-high 23 points in the win over USF, as he reached the 20-point mark for the seventh time in his career.
• Marvin King-Davis recorded his fourth double-double of the year with a career-high 18 rebounds and a season-best 16 points. His rebound total was the highest by a Blue Hen since Jamelle Hagins grabbed 18 against Drexel on Feb. 21, 2013.
• Delaware's starting five played all but 11 minutes during the game, as Cazmon Hayes and Anthony Mosley played 40 minutes while Kory Holden played 39.
• The Blue Hens' +8.8 rebounding margin leads the CAA and ranks 37th in D-I.
• Delaware leads the all-time series with Columbia, 5-1, and has won the last five meetings, although the schools have not met since 1993.
