Matchup Breakdown

Delaware State Outlook

Delaware State averages 60.6 points per game, with Ponce James, Miles Webb, and Corey Perkins leading the offense. James’ 22 points vs Norfolk State highlighted his scoring ability, while Webb’s double-double added rebounding strength. Their high volume of two-point attempts (33rd nationally) underscores efficiency inside the arc. Their 1-8 road record shows struggles, though recent close losses highlight competitiveness.

Bryson’s 18 points and 8 rebounds vs Maryland Eastern Shore highlighted his consistency, while Taylor’s 14 points added balance. Their 5-2 home record underscores strength at Burr Gymnasium, with free-throw shooting (16.8 made per game, 100th nationally) and defensive pressure (9.3 steals per game) adding reliability. Their 9-8 overall record shows competitiveness in MEAC play.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory

The game hinges on Delaware State’s ability to maintain offensive rhythm through James and Webb, while Howard must lean on Harris and Bryson to pace the attack. If Howard controls tempo and defensive pressure, their depth should create separation. Delaware State’s hopes rest on efficient two-point shooting and rebounding to keep the game close.
