WILMINGTON, N.C. – UNCW knocked down a school-record 21 three-pointers and shot a blistering 69.2 percent from the field as the Seahawks men's basketball team cruised to a 108-80 victory over the Blue Hens Saturday night at Trask Coliseum.
The Seahawks (21-4, 10-2 CAA), who snapped a two-game losing streak, went 36 of 52 from the field including 21 of 32 from behind the arc while handing out 27 assists on the night. Chris Flemmings led the way with 22 points and five three-pointers, while Ambrose Mosley added 18 points on six triples. Devontae Cacok chipped in 17 points, six rebounds and four blocks for UNCW, while Jaylen Fornes also scored a career-high 17 points while going 5 of 6 from behind the arc.
Delaware (9-16, 2-10 CAA) held its own offensively by shooting 52.5 percent from the field, and the Blue Hens posted a 27-23 edge on the glass. Freshman guard Ryan Daly scored 20 points and collected a game-best seven rebounds, while Eric Carter set his career-high by also scoring 20 points on 9 of 10 shooting from the field. Anthony Mosley came off the bench to score 15 points, while Jacob Cushing added a career-high 11 points in his third straight start.
“UNCW is really good, and obviously they got rolling offensively tonight,” first-year Delaware head coach Martin Ingelsby said. “They really got comfortable from the three-point line, and we didn't have any answers for them in man or zone. We did a good job to start to the game and led 18-17, but they got a couple of transition baskets off our turnovers and we never recovered. This was a great learning experience for our group, and we'll use it to get better.”
Delaware hung with the Seahawks early on, as a three-point play by Mosley gave the Blue Hens an 18-17 lead at the 11:55 mark of the opening half. UD was still down just a pair at 25-23 a minute and a half later, but UNCW went on a 14-4 spurt to take a 39-27 advantage on a Fornes triple.
The Blue Hens answered with six straight points to pull within six before the Seahawks closed the period with a 15-4 run, capped with a last second three-pointer by Denzel Ingram, to increase the margin to 54-37 at the break.
Delaware shot 60.7 percent during the opening half, as the Blue Hens' 37 points were their most in a first half of a conference game this season. However UNCW connected on a blistering 70.4 percent in the first stanza, including an 11 of 16 performance from behind the arc.
UNCW, which is ranked sixth in this week's CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Poll, then used a seven-point run to go up 69-44 and force a Blue Hen timeout with 14:01 remaining, and led by at least 18 points the rest of the way.
Delaware allowed its highest point total since a 113-111 overtime loss at New Hampshire on Feb. 26, 1995, and its eighth most points ever in a regulation game.
The Blue Hens, who dropped their ninth straight road game, are back home Thursday to host Elon at 7 p.m.
Game Notes:
• Delaware lost its 15th consecutive CAA road contest
• UNCW defeated the Blue Hens for the fourth straight meeting
• The Seahawks improved to 10-1 at home this year
• Daly reached double figures for the 15th time in the last 17 games
• Carter reached double digits for third time in the last six games
• Delaware's shooting percentage was its highest since shooting 55.8% in the first meeting with UNCW
• UD allowed 100 points in regulation for the first time since a 107-106 win over Troy State on Dec. 21, 1993
