Billy Garrett admitted it was “kind of weird.” The DePaul guard watched as his teammates stormed the student section at Allstate Arena Tuesday to celebrate the Blue Demons’ best win of the season, a 77-70 upset over No. 11 Providence.
“Usually, you get everyone storming the court, but we went over there,” Garrett said. “We wanted to go over there to show them we appreciated them being there.”
DePaul will take what it can get.
During the Blue Demons’ first year under head coach Dave Leitao, there haven’t been many moments to celebrate, but it has been an odd mix of progress amid frustration in what has been largely another losing season.
