Delaware (16-19, 5-13 CAA) faces off against UNC Wilmington (26-7, 14-4 CAA) in the CAA Championship game on Tuesday night.
The winner will receive an automatic bid to the men’s NCAA Tournament field of 68.
Delaware is one of the stories of men’s conference championship week so far. The Blue Hens finished 12th in the CAA regular season standings and are one win away from running the table against the best teams in their conference.
Martin Ingelsby’s team has rattled off wins against No. 13 Stony Brook, No. 5 Campbell, No. 4 William & Mary, and No. 1 Towson to reach the CAA final.
Their opponent on Tuesday night, No. 2 UNC Wilmington, lost a conference-low seven games all season and is the clear favorite to earn their first tournament berth since 2017.
Delaware lost 11 of 12 to end the regular season, including two losses to UNC Wilmington by a combined 40 points.
Can the Blue Hens continue their Cinderella story or will the Seahawks end the miracle run?
Delaware vs. UNC Wilmington will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network. Streaming will be available on Paramount+.
Delaware vs. UNC Wilmington will tip off at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT on Tuesday, March 11 from CareFirst Arena in Washington, D.C.
