Delaware State returns to action for the first time in 15 days to take on Div. III St. Mary's (Md.) in a fill-in contest. The Hornets were supposed to play MEAC rival Morgan State this weekend, but the two-game series was postponed due to Covid-19 related issues. The contest will count in the official record for Delaware State, but as an exhibition for St. Mary's. DSU last played on Feb. 6, a 74-69 loss at Morgan State. The Hornets trailed by as many as 15 points before rebounding to take a second half lead in the game, but Morgan State to earn the victory. John Stansbury, playing in just his fourth game of the season, led three double-figure scorers for Delaware State with a season-high 17 points, one shy of her career best. Stansbury was six-for-seven from the field, including four-of-four on three-point shots, and hit his only free throw. 
Dominik Fragala came off the bench to add 16 points for the Hornets, his high since joining the team this season. Zach Kent contributed 13 points for DSU, highlighted by three-for-four shooting on three-point attempts.  He also blocked two shots to raise his season total to a team-high 17. For the season, Myles Carter (sr.) is Delaware State's top scorer at 15.2 points per game to rank fifth in the MEAC. Carter has reached double figures in scoring 10 of his 12 games this season, including a streak of eight in a row. He's also the fourth-best free throw shooter in the MEAC at 84.4%. Point guard Pinky Wiley (sr.) is having fine all-around season. Wiley ranks 12th in the MEAC in scoring at 12.1 points per game. He's also fifth  in the league in assists at 3.9 per game (51 total). In addition, Wiley is third in the league in three-point field goals at 2.2 per game (29), highlighted by a career-best seven vs. Norfolk State on Jan. 17. He had a string of 22 straight games with at least one three-point field goal snapped in the Feb. 6 contest at Morgan State in the Hornets' last outing. Kent has established himself as one of the MEAC's best rim protectors, tying for third in the league in blocks per game at 1.5 and fourth in total blocks at 17.  
 
St. Mary's, a member of the DIII Atlantic East Conference, is 1-3 overall but has played in five  exhibition games this season, including losses to Div. I Morgan State (41-99), Richmond (49-90). The Seahawks also fell to Lancaster Bible 65-60 on Feb. 9. Delaware State defeated Lancaster Bible 81-80 on Feb. 3 at DSU.
