3:58, Tied at 24 Delaware forward Pau Geli draws his third personal foul. Guard Alphonso Dawson is sitting with two fouls, as is forward Jim Ledsome. Both teams are knocking the other around inside, keeping the rebounding battle even at 10 each. The game is tied for the seventh time tonight.

7:45, Delaware leads 18-16  Drexel’s Scott Rodgers goes in for a layup and extends his foot in a kicking motion, knocking down Delaware’s D.J. Boney. The stats look almost identical across the board as each team continues its fast-paced attack.

11:38, Drexel leads 13-11  Get ready for a slugfest as these two teams go right at each other. Drexel is shooting less but making more - mostly because Delaware is 1 for 5 from behind the arc.

15:40, Delaware leads 9-6  We’ve got a high level of athleticism on display early. Both teams look comfortable in a run-and-gun offense, a nice change from the early games.

17:27, Delaware leads 7-4 The closer vantage point becomes intense in a hurry. Times-Dispatch writer John Packett flawlessly fields an errant ball headed in his direction. JP’s a guy whose skills will only improve as he gets more touches. Also we have a stat monitor down here so we can pass along all sorts of insight.

Looks to be another small crowd for this one, though the Drexel students are noisy and on their feet.
