NEWARK, DE -- The University of Delaware men's basketball team bombed its way into the America East Conference semifinal game, hitting a school record 12 three-pointers on its way to an 83-63 win over Towson before a Bob Carpenter Center record home crowd of 5,209 Saturday afternoon. The No. 1 seed Blue Hens (23-5), who won their 11th straight game, the second longest streak in UD history, will take on Maine in Sunday's semifinal game.

The Hens hit 12 of 23 three-pointers, tying the school single game record for three- pointers set earlier this season vs. Delaware State. Delaware hit on 54 percent of their shots from the field (28-52), hitting .500 percent or better for the sixth straight game. The Hens have won each of their eight games by 13 points or more. The Hens jumped out to an 11-0 lead and took a 43-20 lead into intermission.
