Will The Blue Demons Ever Win Again?
The DePaul Blue Demons are back at the Wintrust to take on long time opponent, Georgetown. This is the 40th time that these clubs have played since 1950. The two squads have split in each of the past 3 seasons. In the last meeting, DePaul Lost to a short-handed Hoyas team that clinched victory when walk-on George Muresan hit two clutch free-throws to put the game out of reach. It was a familiar defeat in that the Blue Demons found a way to lose. Since that game, DePaul has been blown out of the gym by Creighton and Villanova.
Georgetown enters the game with a 5-8 record in conference. The depleted bunch upset Butler at Hinkle Fieldhouse after the DePaul game and let a half-time lead slip away against Providence at home.
