North Carolina Central vs Delaware State Prediction

I’m on Delaware State and the points in this game. The Hornets have been quite the cover machine in fairness, covering games left and right over the last month. The only massive edge that NC Central has in this game is on the offensive glass. Other than that it’s either even or tipping towards Delaware State, and my continuous mindset is when I back an underdog, I want a dog that’s going to hit their free throws and put up points when the clock is stopped, especially if the game ends up being close. Delaware State shoots 20% better at the foul line than NC Central in conference play so far, and I think that the Hornets could steal this one outright. Give me Delaware State and the points.

The offense is ranked 305th in the league while the defense is ranked 217th. Guard Antwan Burnett is averaging 13.7 points while shooting 50 percent from the field. 

Grambling State vs Delaware State Prediction

Give me Delaware State here. They haven’t really had a whole lot of success this season but they are still the much better team in this game. Delaware State is averaging 73.5 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Grambling’s defense is going to be awful here, and it’s going to be Delaware State will end up cruising. Back Delaware State against the spread here.

Delaware State Hornets Betting Preview

The Hornets’ season began with a couple of losses to Virginia Tech and Columbia. Delaware State managed wins in the next pair over Gwynedd Mercy and Cheyney, but since then they’ve fallen to Providence and Mount St. Mary’s before another win versus Wilkes-Barre.

Matched up against Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, the Hornets didn’t have too many issues. Delaware State hit a 57-24 run in the first half and a 54-19 stretch in the second for a 111-43 victory. Leading team scorers Kaseem Watson and Robert Smith posted 19 points each.

Texas Longhorns Betting Preview

Over on the Longhorns’ side, it’s been a stretch of five straight victories following their 80-72 opener loss to Ohio State. Texas has since taken out Houston Christian, Chicago State, MS Valley, Syracuse, and Saint Joseph’s.

Last Friday in their most recent outing, Texas had a slim 32-30 edge on Saint Joseph’s at the break. The Longhorns stayed strong in the second on a 35-28 run however, eventually winning 67-58. Tre Johnson was the team’s top scorer with 17 points and two boards.

Why the Texas Longhorns will win

• Texas has won each of its last 12 Friday games.
• Delaware State has lost 53 of its last 59 games against non-conference opponents.
• Texas has won the first half in each of its last 14 games against non-conference opponents at Moody Center.

Texas vs Delaware State Prediction

I’m going to stay with Texas, but it’s quite a hefty line. The Longhorns didn’t have a great first half in their win over Saint Joseph’s and eventually got out-rebounded 44-34 in addition to 12 turnovers. Texas shot fairly well (43.6 percent) however, holding the Hawks to just 31.8 percent on the other side. Still, it was the Longhorns’ lowest points total (67) of the season.

As for Delaware State, they’ve got three wins versus overmatched teams in the books so far this year. Otherwise, it’s been a series of four double-digit losses. The Hornets have scored 66 or fewer points in each of those defeats, so they likely won’t post a very high total on Friday. Texas should control this one wire to wire.

Delaware State Hornets Betting Preview

The Delaware State Hornets recently lost to Howard, while beating SC State and NC Central. The Delaware State Hornets are averaging 70.9 points on 43.6 percent shooting and allowing 71.7 points on 44.3 percent shooting.

The Delaware State Hornets are shooting 32.7 percent from beyond the arc and 70.1 percent from the free throw line. The Delaware State Hornets are allowing 36.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 31.9 rebounds per game.

Seattle U vs Delaware State prediction

The Delaware State Hornets will have a chance here, simply because Seattle enters this tournament with losses in 4 of their last 5 games and an offense that can’t produce consistently. With that said, you can argue Seattle has been the better team over the course of the season. Also, neither Delaware State nor Seattle have played in a week, and now you’re dropping them off in Daytona Beach for a night game. Motivation is a big factor here. Who wants to keep playing? I’m not touching this game personally, but if forced to pick, give me the points with the Hornets. The line feels too steep.

Howard Bison

The Bison have had a pretty wild year. Howard started out on a rough 9-14 run through their first 23 games, then hit a 6-2 stretch to close out the year. The only losses in that time were to South Carolina State and Norfolk State. The Bison bagged a tournament win over Morgan State on Thursday as well.

In their Friday tourney game versus Norfolk State, Howard was able to pull off the upset win to keep it going.

Delaware State Hornets

Over on the Hornets’ side, they were a rough 10-9 in late January. Delaware State got even worse from there, closing on a 3-8 run. Those losses came versus South Carolina State, NC Central, Norfolk State, Howard and MD-Eastern Shore. Thursday’s matchup was a victory 71-58 over South Carolina State, however.

On Friday in the tournament game versus NC Central, the Hornets kept their season going. Following a 27-26 edge in the first half, Delaware State finished on a 44-32 run and took the victory 71-58. Deywilk Tavarez was the team’s top performer on 20 points with five rebounds and three assists.

ANDREW’S FREE DELAWARE STATE vs HOWARD PREDICTION

I’ll just stay with Howard here. The Bison had a great second half in the Norfolk State game, and ended up playing very well on offense. Howard hit 53.5 percent from the field with 52.4 percent (11-of-21) from 3-point range and 23-of-27 (85.2 percent) from the line. The 15 turnovers didn’t help, but otherwise it was a very well-rounded effort.

These teams last saw each other on March 4 in an 85-66 home win for the Bison. Howard shot a nice 52.7 percent from the field in that one with 18-of-22 (81.8 percent) from the line. It was something of a sloppy game overall though, with 27 total turnovers (14 from the Bison). We should have a pretty competitive game if both teams are on, but I like Howard to dictate the pace in the end.

Delaware State finished conference play with a 6-8 record and they have lost four of their last six games.

Delaware State Hornets

The Hornets’ season got off to a middling 10-9 start before a four-game losing streak in early February. Delaware State is just 3-4 in their last seven games with wins over Coppin State, Morgan State and Norfolk State alongside losses to South Carolina State, NC Central, Howard and MD-Eastern Shore.

South Carolina State Bulldogs

Over on the Bulldogs’ side, they started out on a rough 4-14 run but haven’t lost consecutive games since then. South Carolina State is 5-1 in their last six with wins over Howard, Delaware State, MD-Eastern Shore, Morgan State and Coppin State prior to a loss versus NC Central.

In the NC Central game last week, South Carolina State was down by five at the break. The Bulldogs didn’t end up getting any closer on a 41-35 second half and lost 79-68 in the end. Raquan Brown was the top team scorer with his 19 points and five rebounds in 26 minutes.

ANDREW’S FREE DELAWARE STATE VS SOUTH CAROLINA STATE PREDICTION

I’ll stick with South Carolina State. The Bulldogs need a good bounce-back game after falling to NC State last week, but this is a promising spot to get it. South Carolina State shot just 37.9 percent from the field in that one but did manage an 18-8 advantage on the offensive glass. That makes a sub-70-point finish in four of the last five games for SC State.

In their last meeting with Delaware State on February 24, the Bulldogs powered out a 69-62 win after a spotty first half. Neither team shot particularly well (both below 42.7 percent) and each team had 18 turnovers in a sloppy outing. It wasn’t exactly South Carolina State’s best effort; I like a more dominant outcome in this tournament rematch.

Delaware State Preview

The Delaware State Hornets are 13-15 (6-6) this year after they defeated Norfolk State by a score of 85-71 in their last game.

The Hornets are scoring 71.5 points per game with 33.8 rebounds per game and 12.9 assists per game, while giving up 71.4 points against per game this season. Martaz Robinson is averaging 16.2 points per game, 6.2 rebounds per game, and 2.3 assists per game. Delaware State is shooting 44% from the field, 70.2% on free throws, and 32.7% on three pointers this year. 

Howard Preview

The Howard Bison are 14-15 (8-4) this season after they defeated UMES by a score of 70-66 in their last game. Howard led 38-30 at halftime and they were able to barely hang on for the win in the second half. The Bison shot 42.1% from the field and were +12 in rebounding margin in the game.

Howard is shooting 45.2% from the field, 74.6% on free throws, and 37.1% on three pointers this season.

Delaware State vs Howard Betting Prediction

Howard comes into this game playing very well over the last three weeks and they are tied for second in the MEAC standings, just one game off of the lead. The Bison are scoring over 75 points per game this season, which has helped cover for a below average defense. Delaware State has lost two of their last three games, but did just knock off Norfolk State on Saturday. The Hornets struggle on the road, going just 1-3 in their last four. I like Howard to win this game, but I am going to take the over, as both teams have had defensive issues this year.

A Bad Season for Morgan State

It has been a bad season for Morgan State and coming into this game with a 9-15 record overall. Even though it has been a bad season, they have shown some signs of life and they have won three games in a row. In the last game against Maryland Eastern Shore, they scored 70 points and ended up winning by five points. Wynston Tabbs had a strong game putting up 14 points. Morgan State is averaging 72.9 points while their defense is giving up 77.9 points per game. Tabbs had been the top player averaging 16.4 points while shooting 42.1 percent from the field. 

Will Delaware State’s Defense Be Good Again?

Delaware State hasn’t played very well this season but in the last game they sure looked good. Delaware State scored only 66 points against Coppin State, but the defense gave up only 56 points and that led to the victory. Delaware State on the season is averaging 70.5 points while their defense is giving up 71.1 points per game. The defense is ranked 162nd in the league and they are going to need the defense to be good again. Delaware State will face South Carolina State after this game.

Morgan State vs Delaware State Betting Prediction 

Delaware State’s defense looked good in the last game, but I don’t think they are going to do the same thing here. Morgan State has won three games in a row and the offense has been good heading into this one.

NC Central is listed as an 11.5-point favorite in this matchup with the total for this game set at 135.5 points.

Injuries

Neither side has anyone listed on the injury report for this game, so barring any last-minute announcements, both sides will come into this game at full strength.

Matchup History

NC Central’s 66-58 win over Delaware State back on February 18^th, 2023, made it seven straight wins for the Eagles in this head-to-head matchup.

Trends

Delaware State is 10-3-2 ATS in their last 15 games against a team with a winning record and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 neutral site games. NC Central is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 neutral site games and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall.

Pick

I’m backing the Eagles here. Delaware State’s had points this season where they’ve shown value with decent numbers of points, and they even snuck out a cover the last time these two teams met a couple of weeks ago. However, NC Central has come into the conference tournament on absolute fire and I just don’t see the Hornets being able to slow the Eagles down. I look for this to be over early from NC Central so give me the Eagles laying the points.

Matchup History

Pick

I’m really not looking to back either of these teams if I’m being completely honest, but the thing here is that while both teams are struggling, it’s been Delaware State that’s been able to get the job done against teams on their level, beating the likes of Morgan State and these same Bulldogs in the first meeting. The Bulldogs have also won just once in 19 road games this season and in a pick ‘em, even against Delaware State, it makes the Bulldogs hard to back here. Give me Delaware State here.
