RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Delaware men's basketball team was picked second in the CAA Preseason Poll while senior guards Ryan Allen and Kevin Anderson were each named to the CAA Preseason Second Team during the league's media day on Wednesday.

Allen tied for secon on the team and 16th in the league by averaging 12.2 points per game a year ago, when he reached double figures in 22 games. He was also second on the Blue Hens with 65 three-pointers made, and enters his senior year ranked fourth in UD history with 212 triples made and 19th with 1,211 points.
Anderson was a third team All-CAA selection last year when he led the Blue Hens with 122 assists and 45 steals while ranking fourth with 11.5 points per game.
