THE GAME

Fifth-seeded Delaware State (16-16; 9-7 MEAC regular season) takes on No. 4 Howard in a MEAC Tournament quarterfinal contest. The winner of the game will take on either No. 1 North Carolina Central or No. 9 Coppin State in the semifinals on Fri. at 6 p.m.

The Hornets advanced to the quarterfinals by holding off No. 12 Savannah State in an opening round game on Monday. DSU’s Amere May led all players with 26 points, his ninth straight 20-point game and 22nd in a row in double figures. He has 612 points this season, the fourth player in team history to surpass the 600-point mark in a season. Gray had eight points to surpass the 1000-point mark for his career (1003). He also led all players with 12 rebounds to give him 803 at DSU, becoming the fourth Hornet to reach 1000 points and 800 rebounds in a career. Tyshawn Bell was second on the Hornets with 14 points, while freshman Todd Hughes came off the bench to add

11 on five-of-five shooting from the field. Delaware State trailed 26-25 at the break, but rallied to build a 44-32

lead after a three-pointer by Aric Dickerson with 13:34 left to play. Savannah State chipped away at the deficit, and

pulled to within a point on two occasions in the final minute. The Hornet win was tempered by an ankle injury to

starting guard Kendal Williams, who did not return to the game after going down following a basket on his only shot

with 17:04 left in the first half. His status for Thursday’s quarterfinal is uncertain.

Howard (16-15; 10-6 MEAC regular season) received a first round bye after finishing fourth in the 2014-15 MEAC regular season race. The Bison were picked to finish eighth in the MEAC preseason poll. The Bison are led by All-MEAC First Team forward James Carlton (sr.), who is fifth in the league in scoring (16.3 ppg) and fourth in rebound-ing (7.9 pg) this season. Sophomore guard James Daniel, an All-MEAC Second Team pick, is fourth in the league in scoring ( 16.4 ppg), 11th in assists (2.7 pg) , first in steals (1.9 pg); and sixth in three-point field goals (2.2 pg).

DSU vs. HOWARD SERIES HISTORY (DSU leads 2-0)

Delaware State won the lone 201-415 regular season meeting contest 79-76 on Jan. 12 at Howard’s Burr

Gymnasium. Amere May hit a driving lay-up with 11 seconds left for the go-ahead basket and hit two free throws

with less than a second remaining to lift the Hornets to the win. Todd Hughes came off the bench to lead DSU with

a career-high 25 points in the regular season contest at Howard. Hughes was nine-for-14 from the field, including

four-of-five from three-point territory in the game. James Carlton was high scorer for Howard with 27 points (10-19

FGs), while James Miller added 24.

MONSTER GAMES BY GRAY & MAY LEAD HORNETS PAST EAGLES IN REG. SEASON FINALE

Baltimore, Md. (Mar. 5, 2015) --- Kendall Gray had career-highs of 33 points and 30 rebounds; and Amere May poured in 40 points to lead Delaware State to a 104-92 MEAC men’s basketball win over Coppin State in the regular season finale for both teams Gray’s performance marked the first time in Delaware State’s Div. I era that a player has reached 30 points and 30 rebounds in a game. His rebound total is also tops among all NCAA Div. I players this season. The previous Div. I high this year was 28 by Rico Gathers of Baylor. He’s also the only player in Div. I to reach the 30-30 plateau this season. Gray is the 11th NCAA Div. I player since 1973 to rec-ord 30 rebounds in a game. The last to achieve the feat was Rashad Jones-Jennings of Arkansas-Little Rock on Dec. 5, 2005,according to the2014-15 NCAA Men’s Basketball Record Book. The most rebounds in a game by a Div. 1 player since 1973 is 35 by Larry Abney of Fresno State on Feb. 17, 2000. Gray also set a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Div. I single-game rebound rec-ord; and became the first player in league history with 30 points and 30 rebounds in a game. He also set a Hornet Div. I single-game rebound record. Delaware State’s single-game rebound high is 35 by Marvin Spratley when the Hornets were a Division II program in 1971. In addition, Gray blocked three shots to set a single season school record for the third straight year. He has 83 blocks this year, eclipsing the previous high of 81 he set last season. Gray was 12-for-13 from the field and nine-of-16 at the free throw line in the contest. His rebound total included a career-high 11 offensive boards. Gray also had 23 and 22-rebound games; and ranks among the nation’s leaders with 17 double-doubles this season. He raised his season rebound average to a nation’s-best 12.4 per game with the performance. Gray’s big night nearly overshadowed a 40-point scoring performance by Amere May. It was his second 40-point game of the season. He scored the NCAA Div. I season high of 48 vs. St. Francis Brooklyn on Dec. 17. May, the MEAC’s leading scorer, was 13-for-24 from the field, six-of-10 on three-point shots and six-for-six at the free throw line. May has topped the 20-point mark in eight consecutive games; and has reached double figures in 21 straight. He has also knocked down at least one three-pointer in each of the last 24 games. He has scored 79 points in two games against Coppin State this season (39.5 ppg). May has 586 points this season, the fourth-best single-season mark in team history. The performances by Gray and May also marked the first time that two Hornets have topped the 30-point mark in a game in the team’s Div. I era. Delaware State also scored a school-record 70 second half points in the game.

O’Quinn accomplished the feat during the 2011-12 season. He’s also the third Hornet to be named MEAC Player-of-the-Year, joining Tom Davis in 1989; and Jahsha Bluntt, who was selected in 2006 and ’07. Gray is the first DSU player to receive the top defender award. Gray has dominated the MEAC’s weekly awards this season, earning eight Defensive Player-of-the Week honors and one Player-of-the-Week recognition. On Jan. 19, he was selected as the Lou Henson National Mid-major Player-of-the-Week. Delaware State wrapped up its 2014-15 regular season with Gray leading all NCAA Division I players in rebounds per game (12.4), total rebounds (371) and defensive rebounds (8.8 pg). He’s also the MEAC leader in blocks per game (2.8), total blocks (83), offensive rebounds (3.5 pg); and double-doubles (17). As of March 6, Gray ranked seventh in the nation in double-doubles, 15th in total blocks, 17th in blocks per game and 19th in double-doubles. On March 5, he earned national recognition after recording career highs of 33 points and 30 rebounds in the Hornet’ 104-92 win over Coppin State, becoming the first player in the Division I history of Delaware State and the MEAC to pull down 30 rebounds in a game. It also marked the first time in recent memory that any Division I player reached 30 points and 30 rebounds in a game. The last time a Division I player collected 30 rebounds in a game before Gray was in 2000. In addition to the nation’s-best 30-rebound game, Gray shares the fourth (23) and fifth-best (22) single-game rebound totals this season. He also set a DSU blocks record (83) for the third time in his career this season. May is No. 1 in the MEAC and sixth in the nation in scoring at 20.9 points per game this season. He has topped the 40-point mark in two games this season, including the Div. I high of 48 vs. St. Francis Brooklyn on Dec. 17. May tallied 40 points at Coppin State on Mar. 5. He has scored at least 30 points in five games, including 32 in the Hornets’ 72-65 upset of Wake Forest on Nov. 28. May enters next week’s MEAC Tournament having reached double-figures in scoring in 21 straight games, topping the 20-point mark in the last eight. He has also hit at least one three-point field goal in the last 24 games. May is second in the MEAC in three-point field goals (2.8 pg) and three-point percentage (.394); and fourth in the league in free throw shooting (.824).

GRAY IS NATION’S BEST REBOUNDER; AMONG TOP BLOCKERS

Kendall Gray’s 12-rebound performance in the Hornets’ MEAC Tournament opening round win against Savannah State on Monday solidified his place atop the nations rebounding leader board. Gray is No. 1 among all NCAA Divi-sion players in rebounding at 12.4 per game. He also leads the nation in defensive rebounds at 8.9 per contest. Gray’s career-high 30-rebound game at Coppin State on Mar. 5 is also tops among all Div. I players this season, giving Gray three of the top nine single-game rebound totals in the country. He had 23 rebounds in the Hornets’ 60-49 win over South Carolina State on Jan. 17; and grabbed 22 boards vs. Morgan State on Jan. 10. He has reached double figures in rebounds in 21 of his 30 games this season. Gray is tops in the MEAC in seven statistical categories, ranking in the top 21 among all Div. I players in each. He is ninth in the nation in double-doubles (17), 15th in blocks per game (2.8) and 12th in total blocks (87). On Jan. 19, Gray earned national recognition for his stellar play. He was selected as the Lou Henson Award National Mid-Major Player-of-the-Week; and Press-Box-to-Press Row HBCU Player of the Week after recording 41 rebounds, 30 points,

five blocks and six assists in a 2-0 week for the Hornets. Gray was also tabbed as the MEAC ‘s Player-of-the-Week AND Defensive Player-of-the-Week for the games. He has been selected as the MEAC’s Defensive Player-of-the-Week a league-high eight times this season. The Dover, Del., native was two blocks away from school history in the Hornets’ 72-65 win at Wake Forest on Nov. 28. Gray scored 14 points (6-8 FGs), grabbed 16 rebounds and tied the school record for a third time with eight blocks in the

contest, falling just short of the first “triple-double” in recorded team history. Gray had five blocks at Arkansas on Nov. 21 to surpass Marques Oliver (2009-13) as the Hornets’ all-time blocks leader. He has since raised his school record total to 278.

He also had a school record-tying eight blocks vs. NCA&T on Jan. 20, 2014; vs. Wagner on Nov. 14, 2012; and vs. UMES on Feb. 28 of this season. Gray has again set a Hornet record with 87 blocks this season. He held the previous record of 81 as a junior last season; and first set the mark with 75 as a sopho-more during the 2012-13 campaign. Gray has been more than a defensive presence for the

Hornets this season. He’s averaging a career-high 12.3 points per game this season, highlighted by a career-best 33 points in the regular season a Coppin State on Mar. 5. In addition, he’s at shooting 56.0% clip (fourth in MEAC) and has reached double-figures in scoring in 20 of his 31 games played this season. He had a 25-point performance (9-17 FGs) vs. Coppin State on Feb. 16; and tallied 21 points (9-12 FGs) vs. South Carolina State (Jan. 31) and Dela-ware (Dec. 7) this season. Gray reached the career 1000-point and 800-rebound mark vs. Savannah State on Monday, becoming the fourth player in team history with 1,000 points (1003) and 800 rebounds (803) at DSU. The Dover, Del., native was named to the 2014-15 pre-season All-MEAC First Team after finishing second in the league in rebounding (7.9 pg), third in field goal percentage (.579) and fourth in blocks (2.7 pg) last season. He ranked third on the Hornets in scoring (11.5 ppg) and set a school record for the second time in his career with 81 blocks. In addition, he led the team with 11 “double-doubles” during the 2013-14 campaign. Gray was also a two-time MEAC Defensive Player-of-the-Week as a junior last season.

He currently stands at 197. He is sixth in the MEAC with 63 three-pointers and 11th in 3pt FGs per game at 2.0. Bell joined the Hornets’ 1000-point club during his team-high 13-point performance against North Carolina Central on Jan. 26. He’s now at 1161 career points to rank 13th on the team’s all-time list. The Dover, Del., native was named MEAC Player-of-the-Week on Feb. 16 after scoring 42 points and grabbing 17 rebounds in two games, highlight-ed by his second career double-double with 23 points and 12 rebounds, each a career-high, vs. Florida A&M. Bell had a career-high five three-pointers in three games this season (Arkansas, Florida A&M, UMES). As a junior in 2013-14, Bell ranked among the MEAC leaders with a .345 three-point percentage (41-for-119); and was second in the league in free throw shooting at 86.2% (75-for-87). Bell had a career-high five three-pointers (5-7) vs. Arkansas on Nov. 21; and hit four threes in the previous contest at North Texas (4-5).

As a junior in 2013-14, Bell ranked among the MEAC leaders with a .345 three-point percent-age (41-for-119); and

was second in the league in free throw shooting at 86.2% (75-for-87). He was also second on the Hornets in scoring with a career-best 12.1 point per-game average last season. As a freshman during the 2011-12 season, Bell was a MEAC All-Rookie selection. He was fifth on the Hornets in scoring (7.2 ppg) and second in three-point field goals (43). Bell ranked fourth in the MEAC in three-point percentage (.387 ... 43-for-111) and knocked down at least one three-pointer in 22 of DSU's 30 contests during his rookie sea-son.

AMERE MAY COMES FULL CIRCLE WITH HORNETS

Amere May has stretched his MEAC scoring lead after his 26-point performance in the Hornets’ 64-58 win over Savannah in Monday’s MEAC Tournament opening round game. May is tops in the league at 21.1 points per game, sixth among all NCAA Division I players this season. He is averaging 29.6 points in the last seven games, highlighted by a 40-point outburst in the regular season finale at Coppin State on Mar. 5. May has scored 30-or-more points in five games this season. He stepped into the national spotlight with his ca-reer-best 48-point performance in the Hornets’ 72-64 victory over St. Francis Brooklyn on Dec. 17, the sec-ond highest total in team history. May was 16-for-25 from the field, including six-of-10 from three-point territo-ry; and 10-for-10 at the free throw line. His point total was the most by a Hornet since Tom Davis set the team record with 50 against Brooklyn College on Feb. 1, 1989; and is tops among all NCAA Division I play-ers this season. His 16 field goals in the St. Francis contest and against Coppin State on Feb. 16 are tied for first in a Division I game this season. He has reached double-figures in scoring in each of the last 22 con-tests; and 26 times in 29 games this season. May has also nailed at least one three-point field goal in 25

consecutive games. He is a 2014-15 All-MEAC First Team selection; and was named as the league’s Player-of-the-Week three times this season. May’s scored 32 points in the Hornets' 72-65 win over Wake Forest on Nov. 28. His six three-pointers against St. Francis and Wake Forest marked career highs. He is also second in the MEAC in three-pointers per game (2.8), three-point shooting percentage (.394) and three-pointers made (80); seventh in free throw percentage (81.5%); and tops in total points (612). He is the fourth player in team history with 600 points in a season. One of the first calls Keith Walker received after being named head coach of the Hornets last spring was from May, who left DSU after two seasons from 2011-to-13. May was recruited to Delaware State by Walk-

er when he was a Hornet assistant. The South Haven, Mich., native averaged 5.9 points in 53 games, pri-marily as a reserve in his first two seasons at DSU. May played the 2013-14 season at Div. II St. Augustine’s (N.C.), where he averaged 19.3 points per game; and was named to the All-CIAA First Team. May left St. Augustine’s last summer and re-enrolled at Delaware State. He petitioned the NCAA to allow him to compete for the Hornets this season. May was allowed to practice but did not compete in DSU’s first three games this season while the petition was being considered. Walker has a history with the May family. He coached May’s father (Amere Sr.) at Shaw University.


BLOCKS APLENTY

Thanks to Kendall Gray, DSU has been among the MEAC’s best shot blocking team in recent years. The Hornets are No. 4 in the league in blocks at 4.0 per game this season. DSU is also fourth in the MEAC and 103rd nationwide with 129 total blocks. Led by Gray, DSU has posted its top two block numbers in the past three years. In Gray’s freshman season of 2011-12, the Hornets set a school record with 192 blocks. The following season, DSU collected 185 blocks, the second-highest total in team history.

HAYWOOD POSTS CAREER HIGH VS. CHEYNEY Sophomore guard DeAndre Haywood returned to his early season form with a career-high 25-point performance in

the Hornets’ 90-68 win over Cheyney on Jan. 5. Haywood was nine-for-11 from the field and three-of-four from three-point territory in the contest. It was his first double-figure scoring game since four straight to start the season. Hay-wood came out the gate strong in this season. He topped the Hornets in scoring in each of the first three games, including 23 points vs. Penn in the season opener. He was eight-for-16 from the field and seven-of-10 at the free throw line in the Penn contest. He scored five points in the overtime, including two free throws in the closing seconds to seal the win. In addition, Haywood tallied five rebounds, four assists and a game-high four steals in 38 minutes of playing time in the opener. The MEAC thought enough of Haywood’s performance at Penn to name him as its first Player-of-the-Week for the 2014-15 season. It also marked the first time he received the honor. Haywood is fifth among Hornet regulars in scoring at 6.0 points per game this season. He is also third on the team with 24 steals this season. Haywood was named to the 2013-14 MEAC All-Rookie Team after averaging 6.2 points in his debut season. He set career scoring highs in three consecutive games last season, highlighted by a game-high 20 points vs. Flori-da A&M on Feb. 17, 2014.

ROAD WARRIORS

The Hornets are scheduled to log more than 24,600 miles by bus and plane to a total of 13 states and the District of Columbia by season’s end. The schedule is highlighted by first-time trips to Hawai’i and Oregon. The Hornets played at Hawai’i on Dec. 2; and were back in the air less than three weeks later for a trip to Eugene, Ore., to face the Ducks (Dec. 20). In addition to Hawai’i and Oregon, the Hornets will visit/have visited Texas (North Texas), Arkansas (University of Arkansas), South Carolina (SC State), Rhode Island (URI) and New Jersey (NJIT); and make two trips to Pennsylvania (Penn; Temple), New York (Iona, St. Francis Brooklyn) North Carolina (Wake Forest; NC Central; NCA&T), Maryland (UMES; Coppin State) and Virginia (Hampton; Norfolk State; MEAC Tournament).

FRESHMAN STANDS OUT IN WIN

AT HOWARD

Freshman swingman Todd Hughes was honored as the MEAC’s Rookie-of-the-Week last Monday after a breakout game in the Hornets’ 79-76 win over Howard on Jan. 12. Hughes had a team and career-high 25 points, connecting on nine-of-14 shots from the field, including four-of-five from three-point territory. The four three-pointers also marked a career-high. He scored 12 points in the first half and 13 after the break. His previous career-high was 15 points vs. Baptist Bible in his collegiate debut on Nov. 17, 2014. Hughes is sixth among team regulars in scoring at 4.5 points per game this season. Hughes left the Hornets’ 59-50 win over Savannah State on Jan. 19 due to an ankle injury; and missed the next three games. As a high school player, Hughes helped lead Delaware’s Sanford School to a state championship. The Smyrna, Del., native was an All-State selection and 1000-point scorer during his scholastic career.
