UIC vs. DePaul: Game time, TV schedule, odds and more
Despite their 5-3 record, the DePaul Blue Demons have struggled against teams from the top conferences. They have played teams from the Big Ten and the American, and have lost all three games against those teams, including their last game against Temple. In the Hoophall Miami Invitational, DePaul were on the ropes early. Temple jumped out to a 25-point lead early, thanks to some balanced scoring from their two best players. DePaul fought back in the game, outscoring Temple 42-34 in the second half. They went on a 14-0 run during a five minute stretch, sparked by Eli Cain, where it looked like they could make it a barnburner. But they couldn’t hit some baskets down the stretch and ended up with their 3rd loss of the season. It was a tale of two halves for DePaul. Hopefully for the Blue Demons, they can to look to that second half for inspiration.
