With 4:42 left to play in Tuesday night’s game against Georgetown, DePaul’s senior point-guard Billy Garrett Jr. scribed his name in the record books by sinking his 529th career free throw to pass Stephen Howard for the most career free throws in program history.
Howard played for DePaul from 1988-1992 under coach Joey Meyer, son of DePaul’s winningest head coach Ray Meyer. During his time playing at DePaul, the Blue Demons made the NCAA Tournament three times and the NIT Tournament once.
“I actually lost track of where I was at (in relation to Howard’s record),” Garrett said after DePaul’s 76-73 loss to Georgetown.
