STORYLINES
• Delaware faces its rival Drexel, playing the first of two local road games to conclude the regular season. UD is looking for its third consecutive road victory, after winning at Northeastern on Feb. 7 and at William & Mary on Feb. 14.
• The Blue Hens have faced Drexel more than any other opponent, holding a slim 77-74 edge over the Dragons.
• Drexel has won 10 of the 13 meetings at the Daskalakis Center since the teams joined the CAA, although the Blue Hens have posted victories in each of their last two trips to Drexel.
• The road team has won the last three games in the series, including Drexel's 66-62 triumph at the Bob Carpenter Center on Jan. 17.
• Delaware cannot finish lower than seventh in the league standings. If the Blue Hens defeat Drexel, they would move into a tie for the sixth place along with the Dragons. If that occurs, a UD win at Towson or a Drexel loss at William & Mary on Saturday would give the Blue Hens the sixth seed in the league tournament.
• The Blue Hens dropped their final home game of the season on Saturday with the 83-75 overtime loss to Elon. Marvin King-Davis scored 15 points and grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds, recording his first double-double of the season and the second of his career.
