One of those recent two-point victories for the Cougars came in their last game on Wednesday against Old Dominion, when they beat the Monarchs, 82-80. Charleston saw three starters score in double-figures in the victory, led by Dimitrius Underwood, who finished with 15 points, six rebounds and three assists. Other top scorers included Reyne Smith and Ben Burnham, who each scored 10 points in the win.
Osinachi Smart is the team's second-best rebounder this season behind Underwood, with 5.5 per game, but he was a monster on the glass against ODU with 10 boards. The Cougars have been rebounding at an elite level as a team this season, and collect an average of 42 per game, which puts them among the top rebounding programs in the country.
Delaware had a close finish of its own in its last game against UNC-Wilmington. Unfortunately for the Blue Hens, they came out on the wrong side of the result, and lost 70-68. A silver lining for the Fightin' Blue Hens was the play of forward Dylan Painter, who had 22 points along with nine rebounds. Painter has been playing at a particularly high level over his last four starts, and has averaged 17.3 points and 10.3 rebounds during that stretch.
Delaware doesn't do any one thing demonstrably better than most programs, but it is a reliable team at the free-throw line. The Hens have made 77 percent of their free throws this season, which should come in handy against a Cougars team that has averaged 21.6 personal fouls per game this season.
