The DePaul Blue Demons improved to 1-0 on the young season Wednesday night as they picked up an 80-58 victory over the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats at Wintrust Arena.
The Blue Demons were paced by Max Strus’ 25 points. Strus hit five threes and shot an efficient 8-14, which is something he will have to do more and more this year if the Blue Demons want to compete. Strus’ first year at the Division I level last season was marred with inefficient shooting, so getting off to a good start was vital for the senior.
