Delaware State Hornets
Delaware State arrives after making 10 of 20 three-pointers in an 86-52 opener, while Navy seeks a response to its 91-39 loss at George Washington. That stark shooting contrast creates the clearest early matchup question.

Injury Report
Neither team had a reliably confirmed, matchup-specific injury designation in the official schedules and opening-game recaps checked for this preview. That is not a guarantee that both rosters will be fully available. Monitor official pregame updates for changes to personnel and minutes, particularly because Navy used numerous newcomers in its opener. No player has been labeled injured or ruled out without supporting confirmation.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
Delaware State has the stronger documented opening-game shooting performance, going 10-for-20 from three while holding Saint Vincent to 32.1 percent overall. Navy shot 2-for-18 from deep against George Washington and committed 19 turnovers. Opponent quality differs sharply, so the key question is whether Navy can stabilize its offense at home rather than repeat that outing.
3 Things to Watch
- Delaware State opening-night 50 percent three-point shooting
- Navy ball security after 19 turnovers
- Rebounding after Navy lost the glass 40-28
Betting Breakdown
Thursday’s 7:00 p.m. Eastern tip at Alumni Hall pairs Delaware State’s 1-0 start with Navy’s 0-1 opening. The Hornets beat Saint Vincent 86-52 on November 2, shooting 56.9 percent overall and 50 percent from three-point range. Nehemiah Reedus scored 19 points, Nasir Muhammad added 18 and Isaiah Sullivan supplied 16 off the bench. Delaware State also forced 19 turnovers while making only nine. Navy’s opener was substantially rougher: George Washington won 91-39 as the Midshipmen shot 24.1 percent from the floor, made only two of 18 threes and turned it over 19 times. David Burnett provided 11 points and seven rebounds. These games came against different levels of opposition, limiting how directly their scores can be compared. Navy won last December’s head-to-head contest 66-59, but that result belongs to the previous campaign. Navy is 0-1 ATS this season; Delaware State has no graded spread result after its unlined opener. Watch Navy’s early shot selection, Delaware State’s perimeter accuracy and whether either team controls turnovers before judging any available market price.
Delaware State Betting Outlook
Delaware State opened its season with an 86-52 home victory over Saint Vincent, a Division III opponent, before making its first road trip to Annapolis. The Hornets converted 37 of 65 field goals and 10 of 20 threes, with Reedus recording 19 points and four steals. Muhammad made four triples and Sullivan added 16 points off the bench. The Hornets generated 42 paint points, secured 38 rebounds and held the Bearcats to 32.1 percent field-goal shooting. They also committed just nine turnovers. The season ATS ledger is 0-0-0 because that opener had no available posted line; their shooting numbers should not be projected uncritically against a Division I opponent.
Navy Betting Outlook
Navy returns to Alumni Hall for its home opener after a 91-39 defeat at George Washington on November 2. The Midshipmen shot 24.1 percent overall and 11.1 percent from three, finishing 2-for-18 from long range. George Washington shot 55.4 percent from the floor, hit 14 of 27 threes and held a 40-28 rebounding advantage. Navy also committed 19 turnovers. David Burnett led the Midshipmen with 11 points and seven rebounds, establishing new personal scoring and rebounding highs. Navy’s current-season ATS record is 0-1-0 after failing to cover as an 18.5-point underdog. A return home could help, but better execution and possession control are essential.
