PHILADELPHIA -- In a game marred by 57 fouls and 75 free throw attempts, St. Joseph's outlasted Delaware, 72-67, Saturday night at Alumni Fieldhouse.

The Hawks (9-3) recorded just 16 field goals on the night, including just two in the final 11 minutes, but connected on 33 of 46 from the free throw line, while Delaware continued its struggles at the line in connecting on 16 of 29 attempts. St. Joseph's got 21 points from Marvin O'Connor and 20 points from Jameer Nelson to lead the way.

Delaware was led by senior Billy Wells' 20 points, while senior Ajmal Basit chipped in 19 points 11 rebounds for his 10th double-double in 12 games this season. The loss marked the eighth road loss in nine tries for Delaware dating back to last season.

After the teams battled to a 26-26 tie at intermission, the Blue Hens took their first lead of the night, 28-26, with 19:12 to play on a Wells layup. The teams battled back-and-forth until the Hawks broke a 38-38 tie with a 7-0 run that was keyed by two Nelson three-pointers.

Another Nelson three-pointer with 3:49 to play stretched the lead to 11 at 57-46. However, Delaware would not go away quietly. The Blue Hens connected on four three-pointers in the final 1:04 and would get within three. Freshman Mike Ames was fouled on a three-point attempt with :33 left and cut the deficit to 64-61.

However, the Hawks finished the game making eight of 10 from the line from that point on the hold off Delaware.

Delaware continues its five-game road trip when it travels to West Hartford, CT for a Thursday game with the Hartford Hawks. Game time is 7 p.m.
