The Delaware Blue Coats (20-9) are set to play the second in their two-game series against the Motor City Cruise (20-10) in a Tuesday matinee after winning the first game 125-118 at Chase Fieldhouse on Sunday afternoon.

The Coats were led by key bench contributions from Shamorie Ponds and Myles Powell. Ponds had a game-high 28 points while adding five rebounds and assists. Powell recorded 23 points of his own, which he did in only 14 minutes of play.

The two-game series between the Blue Coats and the Cruise has big postseason implications; both Delaware and Motor City have clinched playoff spots, so these games will likely have an impact on their positioning.

Going into Tuesday morning's game, Delaware holds the third seed in the Eastern Conference while Motor City is currently in fourth. If the Blue Coats pick up consecutive wins, they will put even more distance between themselves and the Cruise.

Their matchup is set for 11:00 a.m. You can stream the game on ESPN+ and listen to it on Rowan Radio 89.7 WGLS FM Channel 2.
