The Blue Coats were led by Jaden Springer, after the Sixers assigned the second-year guard to Delaware to continue his development. Springer finished with 24 points, six rebounds and three steals.
Two-way guard Mac McClung added 20 points, five assists and five rebounds to help Delaware advance.

Philadelphia’s other two-way player, Louis King, had 14 points and five rebounds while Michael Foster Jr. had 16 points and seven boards. Braxton Key chipped in with 12 points and seven rebounds.
It was a good opportunity for the Springer to continue his development: He needs court time.
