University Of Delaware Men's Basketball Schedule 2023-2024: What To Know
Delaware men’s basketball team was unsuccessful in its CAA title defense last season, but they're prepped for another run. Here’s a look at their schedule.
The Delaware men’s basketball team is coming off a mediocre season that saw the Blue Hens turn in a 17-16 overall record and 8-10 mark in Coastal Athletic Association action. They were bounced from the quarterfinals of the CAA Men’s Basketball Championship by Towson.
However, head coach Martin Ingelsby already proved his squad can succeed, as he led the Blue Hens to the 2022 CAA Tournament title and a berth in the 2022 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship.
That success earned him a contract extension through the 2028-2029 season last summer, and the upcoming campaign will be his eighth as the head coach at Delaware.
Though they quietly landed in the middle of the CAA standings last year, the outlook from across the conference is better for the Blue Hens this time around. Delaware was tied for fifth in the 2023-2024 CAA Men’s Basketball Preseason Poll, voted on by the league’s head coaches.
The team will return seven players from last season, and seven new faces have been added, including six transfers.

Among the new additions to the Delaware roster are 6-foot-9 forward Tyler Houser from VMI, 6-foot-5 guard Gerald Drumgoole Jr. from UAlbany and 6-foot-5 guard Niels Lane from Florida.
From those returning, senior forward Jyáre Davis was a second-team All-CAA selection during the preseason polls. He was on the All-CAA third team last season after averaging 15.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
The Blue Hens are smart, too, with five players being named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches Honors Court, which includes junior, senior and graduate students who finished the last school year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.
Will book smarts translate into basketball smarts and success? Only time will tell.
Here’s a look at the Delaware men’s basketball schedule for the 2023-2024 season.
