Louisiana Tech (4-2, 3-2 D1) at Delaware (4-2, 2-2 D1) – 7:00 PM EST (Watch Live)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us back to the Delaware Invitational where the Blue Hens of Delaware will play host to Louisiana Tech. A common thread for tonight is that both teams are coming off of losses to UNC-Greensboro as part of a 3-team round robin event over the weekend. Delaware was trailing 53-49 against UNC-G after the first media timeout in the 2nd half, but a 19-3 run by the Spartans effectively ended the game for the Blue Hens. Ithiel Horton had 18 points off the bench to lead Delaware.
As for Louisiana Tech, their most notable win of the season so far was a win at Wichita State in their season opener. The loss at Louisiana State was certainly a respectable one, but the Bulldogs did miss an opportunity over the weekend for a good win after losing to UNC-Greensboro. Exavian Christon leads the Bulldogs with 13.3 points a game; he’s also shooting from a 42% clip from 3-point range during Louisiana Tech’s first 6 games this season.
