Good to see them win!!! Couldn't make it.

We all just want to see them win, I could care less how the game is played.

Nice to the winning % in these high scoring affairs jump up to .375 for the Hens with this win.

Saw the Hens are in the TOP 2 in the CAA in the following
FG%
Assists
A/T ratio

With no rim protector, the job is that much harder, teams have no fear!!!

When this team defends, they win way more often.

Just take it 1 game at a time.
When it comes to Basketball, "I'm smarter than you and you know it"!! :twisted:

Win at home and the fans will come. During their "peak" years of the late 90s, the Blue Hens rarely lost at home, even if the opponent wasn't good the Bob was packed. After the move to the CAA and a much tougher conference, the Blue Hens never achieved consistent success at home, and although Ingelsby has improved the situation somewhat, the home-winning percentage is still at 62%. While winning against strong teams like Xavier is good, it doesn't necessarily boost fan attendance. The Blue Hens need consistent wins, especially at home. They're facing Towson on Thursday, which has a strong home record, and it will be interesting to see how many fans show up for the game.

The spreadsheet doesn't copy-paste well in this format...
