<p>Thanks to four scorers in double digits, the Fighting Irish cruised to an easy victory over the Delaware State Hornets on Friday night to improve to 4-0 on the season. The Irish were led by senior guard <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/26737/scott-martin">Scott Martin</a>, who dropped in 23 points on just under 50% shooting on the night. Right on his heels were sophomore guards <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124083/alex-dragicevich">Alex Dragicevich</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124084/jerian-grant">Jerian Grant</a>, who scored 18 and 17 points respectively.</p>
<p>As a team, the Irish pretty much shot the lights out, going 49% from the field and 48% from three on the night. Their defense was also very solid, as they held the Hornets to 40% shooting from the field despite Delaware State hitting 8 of their 17 three point attempts. The Hornets were led by freshman guard <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145263/tahj-tate">Tahj Tate</a>, who dropped in seven three pointers on his way to a 29 point night. Unfortunately for Delaware State, though, none of his teammates were able to reach double digits as the Irish breezed to a 24 point victory.</p>
