Ohio also enters the game with the knowledge that Delaware has scored 80-plus points in each of its last three games.

Delaware Notes 

Most recently, Delaware participated in the Nassau Championship, similar to Ohio. During the tournament, the teams did not face one another but did face a common opponent in George Washington. 

Each team fell to the Revolutionaries. Ohio lost in double-overtime 99-94, while Delaware struggled to keep pace in its 81-71 defeat. 

Player to Watch 

Jyáre Davis — In Delaware’s most recent game with George Washington, Davis led the team with 23 points and 9 rebounds. Davis, a forward standing at 6 feet, 7 inches, will be someone Ohio may have trouble stopping, given his size and athletic ability.
