That was certainly a game of basketball.

The DePaul Blue Demons defeated the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils, 85-57, Wednesday night at Wintrust Arena.

This clearly means DePaul is the best team in the nation with Blue as the first word of their name. I can’t think of any others, that’s for sure.

DePaul led wire-to-wire, and looked quite impressive en route to ending CCSU’s five-game winning streak. Speaking of winning streaks, DePaul’s has now been extended to three! That’s the first three-game winning streak for DePaul since November 2016.

Eli Cain led the way with 17 points, but overall it was a balanced scoring attack for the Blue Demons, as five players had double-digit points.
