A Stumpdate on one of the craziest stories in this first half of March, the Delaware Blue Hens.

Not going to lie to you all. For a team that I just learned about 48 hours ago, man was I crushed when the clock struck zeroes in the CAA Championship last night and Delaware was sent packing.

I know we went over this yesterday, but again…

They were the #12 seed in the conference, this was their 5th game in 5 days. They had already taken down (13) Stony Brook, (5) Campbell, (4) W&M, and (1) Towson. Funny enough, the closest out of these 4 games was a 4-point win against Stony Brook.

What was magical about these guys was that they stunk in the regular season. They lost 12 of their last 13 games, and nobody outside of their own locker room thought they would make a run in their tourney, well they did.

Last night they fell to UNC Wilmington 76-72. Freshman Izaiah Pasha and Senior Niels Lane were monsters for the Fightin’ Blue Hens all tourney. Could they have gotten absolutely smoked in the first round if they advanced? Absolutely. Could there also have been Madness? Absolutely.

Here’s to the Cinderella team that could’ve been! It was an absolute pleasure to watch you guys play!

This all being said…

As said on yesterday’s program…Kyler Filewich on Wofford might turn this month UPSIDE-DOWN! So ready for this thing to get started
