Delaware blew past Hampton in an 80-50 rout on Saturday evening at the CAA Tournament. It was even more one-sided than the score line indicates, as the Blue Hens led by as many as 47 points.
Gerald Drumgoole Jr. was an efficient machine, contributing 17 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field to lead the way for Delaware. Drumgoole Jr. was not the sole contributor though. The Blue Hens’ offense delivered from many fronts, pouring in 1.13 points per possession on 48% shooting from the field. The transition game was a big factor in their success, 18 of the team’s points came on the fast break.
Kyrese Mullen recorded 17 points and nine rebounds, and Jerry Deng contributed another 13 points to pace Hampton. Collectively, the Pirates were inefficient on offense. They converted on just 23% of field goal attempts and 19% of three-point attempts. They were heavily challenged on field goal attempts in the paint, scoring just 16% of their total points on those shot attempts near the hoop.
- The 30-point differential was Delaware’s largest margin of victory this season
- Hampton started slow, scoring a season-low 16 first half points
- Two lead changes and zero ties were recorded in the game
Delaware earned a good win against a tough CAA rival. The Blue Hens’ next matchup is a March 10 game against Hofstra at D.C. Entertainment and Sports Arena. HU’s final record stands at 9-24 with the season ending loss.
