Jameer Nelson Jr. leads the Blue Hens in scoring and assists with 19.9 PPG and 3.1 APG with 4.7 RPG as well while Jyare Davis has 16.5 PPG with 4.6 RPG and 2.9 APG this season. L.J.

The Princeton Tigers will hope to bounce back from a 70-64 loss to Iona last time out.

Delaware is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games following a win while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Princeton is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a loss while the under is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall.
Delaware’s started to pick up their play at home and that includes the solid wins over Siena and Davidson. The issue here is that they’re on the road for this game, and they’ve had issues with not only winning games on the road, but keeping their losses close. Princeton has had ups and downs themselves at home, but I just feel that Princeton is the better team on both ends of the floor and should have no issue getting it done here. Give me Princeton.
