WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
...............................................................
• Delaware wraps up its three-game homestand and its stretch of nine games in 19 days against Division III Moravian.
• The Hens have won four straight games for the second time this season. A win would give them their first five-game streak since winning seven in a row from Jan. 18-Feb. 13, 2019.
• A victory would also give UD a 9-3 record or better through 12 games for just the second time this century. The 2019-20 squad opened 10-2.
• A win would give the Blue Hens a 5-0 start at home for the third time in the last six seasons. The 2016-17 and 2019-20 teams also won their first five home games. Prior to that, UD hadn't opened 5-0 at home since 1999-2000.
• Delaware is coming off a 68-58 triumph over Lafayette on Wednesday. Dylan Painter recorded his third double-double of the year with 20 points and 11 rebounds, while Andrew Carr tied his season-high with 18 points.
• The Blue Hens held the Leopards to 40.4 percent shooting, and have limited their last three opponents to 35.4 percent (58 of 164) from the field.
• Lafayette attempted just two free throws, the fewest by a UD opponent since Delaware State also took two foul shots during the Blue Hens' 62-56 victory in Dover on Nov. 13, 2015.
• Delaware leads the all-time series with Moravian, 5-2. All seven of the schools' meetings came between 1911 and 1933.
• Following the game, UD takes an 11-day break while in final exams.
