Strus’ career night leads DePaul past UIC
In a game on a strange day of the week at an odd start time following a game just three days ago, it would have been unsurprising if Max Strus and the DePaul Blue Demons slogged through their contest with their crosstown foes from UIC.
However, that’s not what happened. Instead, the Blue Demons dominated from pillar to post, resulting in a 90-70 victory to improve to 7-2, their best start since 2002-03.
Max Strus played his best game as a Blue Demon, setting a new career-high in scoring (34) and rebounding (13), to record his third career double-double. Strus also tied DePaul’s single-game record for three-point shots made with eight.
