LAST TIME OUT
The Bald Eagles dominated the second half to nearly pull off the come-from-behind victory on the road, but the first-half deficit proved to be too much as Wilmington University of Delaware held on for an 86-80 non-conference victory on Saturday (Dec. 9).
The Haven outscored the Wildcats 45-38 in the second half, but Wilmington was able to hold on thanks to a 13-point (48-35) advantage in the first half.
Wilmington led by as much as 12 in the second half, but the Bald Eagles cut the deficit to two scores (84-80) with 32 seconds to go. However, the Wildcats knocked down a pair of free throws on the ensuing possession before draining the time remaining.
By the numbers, the Wildcats (56 percent) outshot the Bald Eagles (45 percent), while leading 46-38 in points in the paint and 9-5 in fast-break points.
