After 37 seasons and 526 games, the DePaul Blue Demons (9-22, 2-16) bid farewell to the Allstate Arena on Saturday afternoon with a 79-65 loss to the Xavier Musketeers (19-12, 9-9).
Xavier, who has started teetering closer and closer to the bubble desperately needed the victory to snap their six-game losing streak. Naturally, Trevon Bluiett delivered for the Musketeers, scoring 24 points (17 of which came in the second half) and grabbing 10 rebounds to record his fifth double-double of the season.
After a back and forth first half which saw the Musketeers go into the locker room with a 33-30 lead, Xavier played a strong second half, holding DePaul to 35 points.
