Box Score

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Another historic win came Sunday afternoon in the nation's capital with the 12^th-seeded University of Delaware men's basketball team taking down fourth-seeded William & Mary, 100-78, to become the lowest seed ever to reach to CAA Men's Basketball Championship Semifinals. The Blue Hens (15-19) will take on top-seeded Towson Monday night at 6 p.m. with the game airing nationally on CBS Sports Network.

HEN HIGHLIGHTS

The Hens outshot the Tribe in all three facets of the game, including a season-high 62.1 percent from long range en route to setting a CAA Tournament record and tying a program single game record of 18 triples.
Delaware's 53 second half points ties the season high set against Yale in which UD also scored 100 points.
The Blue & Gold's 100 points ties a program record with two 100-point games in a season (1990-91 & 1991-92).
John Camden scored a career-high 36 points, which is the most by a Blue Hen in CAA Tournament history. He went 11-of-15 overall, including 8-of-10 from long range. The Downingtown, Pa. native added seven rebounds and five assists.
Erik Timko was second on the team with 13 points and corralled five rebounds.
Izaiah Pasha tallied 12 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, and two blocks.
Cavan Reilly (11) and Niels Lane (10) also scored in double figures.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The game was back-and-forth until the Tribe ripped off three-straight triples to pull ahead 27-21 which was the largest differential by either team in the first half. Delaware used a 9-2 run over 2:10 to pull ahead 37-35 thanks to a trio of three pointers. After an 8-0 run by William & Mary, back-to-back treys from Macon Emory knotted the game at 43 all. The four-seed claimed six of the final 10 points of the half to hold a 49-47 lead at the break.
After the Tribe scored the first five points of the second stanza, the Blue & Gold used a 13-1 run over 3:36 to pull ahead 60-55 at the under-16 media stoppage. Delaware continued to widen the gap with a 16-9 advantage over the next 7:52 to go up 76-64 with 8:15 left. UD cemented the win with a 24-14 advantage the rest of the way.

GAME NOTES

Delaware is just the second double-digit seed to make the semifinals in tournament history, joining the 10^th-seeded Hofstra Pride in 2002.
The Hens 18 threes set a CAA Tournament record. The previous record of 15 had been done twice.
UD picks up its first win of the season when trailing at the half to move the record to 1-15.
Timko needs one more three pointer to hit 300 for his career.
Delaware set a single season program record for three point field goals made, surpassing the 282 made in 2018-19.
