The Northeastern Huskies and the Delaware Blue Hens meet in college basketball action from the Bob Carpenter Center on Thursday night.
The Northeastern Huskies will look to build on a 58-53 win over Towson last time out. Jahmyl Telfort leads the Huskies in scoring with 12.6 PPG while Shaquille Walters has 11.7 PPG with 4.4 RPG and a team-high 2.8 APG to lead the Huskies in assists. Nikola Djogo has 12.4 PPG with 5.3 RPG and Chris Doherty’s got 11 PPG with a team-high 9.2 RPG to lead the Huskies on the glass and to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Northeastern up to this point in the year. As a team, Northeastern is averaging 64.8 PPG on 44.3% shooting from the field, 32.5% from three and 72.9% from the foul line while allowing 70.3 PPG on 46% shooting from the field and 35.6% from three this season.
The Delaware Blue Hens will hope to find some consistency after alternating wins and losses in each of their last four games after a 76-69 loss to Drexel last time out. Dylan Painter leads the Blue Hens in scoring and rebounding with 14.3 PPG and 8 RPG and Ryan Allen has 12.5 PPG and Jameer Nelson Jr. has 13 PPG with 5.1 RPG. Kevin Anderson has 11.5 PPG with 3.8 RPG and a team-high 3.8 APG to lead Delaware in assists and Andrew Carr has 10 PPG to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for the Blue Hens this season. As a team, Delaware is averaging 75.4 PPG on 47.3% shooting from the field, 35.4% from three and 75.7% from the foul line while allowing 71.3 PPG on 43.5% shooting from the field and 36.8% from three this season.
Northeastern is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall while the over is 7-1 in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record. Delaware is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 18-6 in their last 24 games overall.
I get the case to be made for Delaware at home as the Blue Hens are playing the better ball, but the Blue Hens are also just 1-7 ATS at home this season. Northeastern hasn’t been great by any stretch, but they’ve kept games close as of late and the product of Delaware’s record has simply been laying too many points. I think this is another one of those cases as Delaware likely wins but Northeastern keeps it within the number.
