NEWARK, Del. (AP) -- Devon Saddler scored 24 points and Jarvis
Threatt posted his second straight double-double to help
Delaware rally then hold off Old Dominion 75-73 Monday night in
Colonial Athletic Association play.



Saddler, who has scored in double figures in 30 straight games
dating back to last season, was 7-of-14 shooting.



Threatt, who had 20 points and 10 rebounds Saturday, tallied 10
points and a career-high 13 boards for the Blue Hens (13-12,
8-4), who trailed the last place Monarchs by as many as 10 in
the second half before rallying to tie the game at 63 with 5:05
showing.



Old Dominion's DeShawn Painter broke the tie with a 3-pointer
but the Monarchs (3-22, 1-12) missed their next five shots as
Delaware pulled ahead for the win.



Painter paced Old Dominion with 22 points and 12 rebounds -
seven offensive - but the Monarchs made just 10 of 15 free
throws.
