After an ugly win against Robert Morris to open their season, the DePaul Blue Demons suffered their first loss in similar fashion against Rutgers.
It wasn’t a good offensive output by the Blue Demons at all. Eli Cain was the only starter to score more than six points on the night, and basically kept DePaul afloat with his 24 points, 15 of which came from 3-point land. The offense was sporadic in the first half, and when you have your big players like Billy Garrett Jr. and Tre’Darius McCallum struggle (nine points combined in this game), your team is going to struggle.
