Anderson was 7 of 14 from the field, 2 of 4 from 3-point range, including a miss at the buzzer after Devauhnte Turner of St. Peter's made the second of two free throws with 3.5 seconds to play to tie the game at 66.

Eric Carter added 18 points and Matt Veretto 14 of the bench for the Blue Hens, who led 39-29 at the half.

Turner led the Peacocks, who won their opener over Lafayette 93-86 in overtime, with 23 points.
