The Blue Hens face the challenge of replacing four double-digit scorers, but welcome back three-year starter Kyle Anderson in the backcourt. Anderson averaged 11.0 ppg last season and was ed for third in the CAA with 85 three-pointers. He needs just 14 treys to break UD’s career mark of 228. Also returning for UD is junior forward Marvin King-Davis, who made 19 starts last season and tallied 5.1 points and 3.7 rebounds per contest. Sophomores Devonne Pinkard, Cazmon Hayes and Barne Harris saw me off the bench last season and should challenge for star ng roles. Pinkard averaged 2.4 ppg and hit 20 of his 26 fi eld goals from three- point range. Hayes (2.0 ppg) and Harris made increased contribu ons as the year progressed. Several freshmen could have an immediate impact, led by guards Kory Holden and Chivarsky Corbe and forward Eric Carter. 20 • 2014-15 CAA MEN’S BASKETBALL UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE BLUE HENS 2014-15 BLUE HENS’ ROSTER No. Name Pos.
