Given their troubles near the end of the regular season, the DePaul Blue Demons have turned a nice positive on things given their run in the College Basketball Invitational. Again hosting a game in the tournament, the Blue Demons got out to a huge lead against the Longwood Lancers. Max Strus was hitting his shots, Paul Reed was controlling the boards, and DePaul was rolling. But things quickly got shaky as the lead evaporated in front of the home crowd. Longwood tied the game late in the second half and it looked like we could have an upset on our hands.
