Delaware is on a wild Cinderella run in the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament.

Delaware covered as a 6.5-point underdog, and the Over (145.5) hit. All five starters scored in double figures, led by G Erik Timko's 15 points. The Blue Hens, who finished 12th in the 14-team league, is the first double-digit seed to reach the CAA title game.

The victory sends the Seahawks to the title game for the 3rd time in 4 years. G Donovan Newby carried the team with 24 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Lines last updated at 5:37 a.m. ET.

The magical run for the Blue Hens (+300) comes to an end Tuesday night. UNC-Wilmington (-375) will punch its ticket to the Big Dance but their odds are too steep. I'll take my wager to the spread. BET UNC-WILMINGTON -8.5 (-110). Delaware's Cinderella run has been one of the best stories so far this March, but every great run eventually hits a wall. The Blue Hens, led by F John Camden — who dropped 39 in Sunday's quarterfinal win over William & Mary — have received big performances across the roster. But after 4 straight wins in D.C., playing a fifth game in 5 days is a brutal challenge. Look for fatigue to catch up to them Tuesday in the CAA title game. UNC-Wilmington comes in hot, winning 5 straight and 14 of its last 16. The Seahawks have the top scoring offense in the CAA, averaging 79.8 points per game, with 7 players scoring at least 8.0 PPG. Meanwhile, Delaware has the worst defense in the conference, giving up 77.9 PPG. Stats don't mean everything in tournament play, especially with an NCAA Tournament spot on the line, but Delaware's heavy workload could be a problem late in this game. Expect the Blue Hens to battle early, but the Seahawks' depth and fresher legs to take over in the second half. BET UNDER 148.5 (-105) at FanDuel Sportsbook as it's a little less juice than BetMGM's (-110). Expect some early nerves in the CAA title game with both teams feeling the pressure. Delaware will be running on tired legs as it plays its 5th games in 5 days — UNC-Wilmington only had to play 2 days to get here. The Hens' fatigue could slow things down. UNC-Wilmington has hit the Under in 3 of its last 5 games (1-3-1 O/U), and both matchups between these teams this season stayed under 147 points. Given the pace and running-on-fumes factor, it's tough to see this one going Over. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!
