The Blue Hens are a game away from the NCAA Tournament after winning their fourth game in last four days
Delaware continued its improbable run in the Coastal Athletic Association Tournament Monday with a 82-72 win over No. 1 seed Towson in the CAA semifinals. Delaware entered the conference tournament with a 15-19 record and had lost six consecutive games before becoming the first double-digit seed to advance to the CAA semifinals since 2002.
The Blue Hens will face the winner of the other semifinal between No. 2 seed UNC-Wilmington and No. 3 seed Charleston on Tuesday with a trip to the NCAA Tournament on the line. Delaware is seeking its third NCAA Tournament appearance this century and second since 2022.
Towson earned the No. 1 seed in the CAA Tournament by capturing the regular season title with a 16-2 record in conference play. The Tigers were looking to make their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1991.
Last spring, Charleston defeated Stony Brook 82-79 in overtime in the CAA title game to earn the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
