The Delaware Blue Hens are a team I’ve backed a lot this season and was high on entering the year, and while they’ve been shaky as of late, they’re still a balanced team that has legit potential offensively. The Northeastern Huskies haven’t won a game since December 7 and their defense gets rocked more times than not. I’ll stick with my confidence in Delaware and expect the losing to continue with Northeastern.
