What to Know

The UNC-Wilmington Seahawks and the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens are even-steven against one another since January of 2016 (7-7), but not for long. The Seahawks and Delaware will face off in a Colonial battle at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at Bob Carpenter Center Acierno Arena. UNC-Wilmington will be strutting in after a win while Delaware will be stumbling in from a loss.

Even if it wasn't a dominant performance, UNC-Wilmington beat the Drexel Dragons 69-63 on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Delaware was close but no cigar on Thursday as they fell 99-96 to the College of Charleston Cougars.

UNC-Wilmington is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 9-3-1 against the spread when expected to lose.

Delaware's defeat took them down to 19-10 while UNC-Wilmington's victory pulled them up to 20-8. A win for the Fightin' Blue Hens would reverse both their bad luck and UNC-Wilmington's good luck.
