Most recently, the Coats fell short to the Raptors 905 in a 104-109 loss on Saturday, while the Bulls will take the court fresh off a win against the Wisconsin Herd 111-101 on Tuesday.

The Bulls come into Delaware with some offensive momentum, shooting 51% from behind the arc in their last outing, and with seven players recording double-digit scoring performances. in their last outing. Though they'll surely be looking to do much of the same in Delaware, the Blue Coats rank as the second-best team in the league for steals per game, tied with the Austin Spurs at 10.6. The Coats also rank second for the league average in blocks, registering more than 6 per contest.

The key matchup of the day will be a battle of the two starting point guards, as Shaquille Harrison was Delaware's leading scorer (24 points) against the 905, and the visiting Devon Dotson is coming off of a career game on both ends of the ball, as he registered 22 points, 8 assists, and 7 steals in the win against the Herd. Fans can expect a lot of back-and-forth action between the two efficient shooters and versatile defenders.

Delaware still holds a head-to-head victory over the Bulls on the 2021-22 regular season. On January 9, the Blue Coats won convincingly against the Bulls 123-85 in their first matchup of the year.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 P.M. on Thursday night, and coverage of the game will be on ESPN+.
