The DePaul Blue Demons' 2016-17 schedule got two new additions over the last 24 hours.
In a press release sent by the DePaul basketball program, the Blue Demons announced they would be taking on the Robert Morris Colonials in their 2016-17 season opener. The Blue Demons have never faced the Colonials before, dating back to 1949-50 according to Sports-Reference.com, so a little bit of history will be made when these two teams take the floor at McGrath-Phillips Arena.
Also in the news is DePaul's next matchup vs. Northwestern. CBS Sports college basketball insider Jon Rothstein issued a tweet out on Tuesday afternoon that the scheduled meeting between DePaul and the Wildcats would be taking place later this year on December 3 as part of an annual series agreed upon between the two programs that started last year when the Blue Demons went to Evanston to match up with their in-state foes from the Big Ten Conference.
