NEWARK, Del. - The University of Delaware men's basketball program will take on Saint Joseph's in an exhibition game on Saturday, October 25 at 1 pm in Philadelphia, head coach Martin Ingelsby announced Thursday.
Delaware and St. Joe's men's basketball teams have played each other 37 times for an overall record of 9-28. The first-ever official match up between these two teams was in the 1927-28 season where the Blue Hens came out on top with a score of 31-19. However, the most recent outcome was a 75-54 win for St. Joe's in 2003.
In the 2024-25 season, Ingelsby led the Hens to the conference championship game, while becoming the first team in CAA history to win four games in the conference tournament. UD was also the lowest seed to advance to the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals in tournament history. Delaware became only the second double-digit seed to reach the semis, joining the 2002 Hofstra Pride. Inglesby left the conference tied for the fifth-most wins in CAA Tournament history with Lefty Driesell and Blaine Taylor at 13, as UD entered Conference USA for the 2025-26 campaign.
St. Joe's finished its 2024-25 season with a record of 22-13 after making it to the Atlantic 10 semifinals. The Hawks also received a bid to the National Invitational Tournament for the 18th time in program history. Their first round match up was against University of Alabama Birmingham who came out on top 69-65.
