What you need to know about DePaul

The Blue Demons were close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 76-73 to the Providence Friars. DePaul got double-digit scores from five players: forward David Jones (19), guard Jalen Terry (15), center Nick Ongenda (11), guard Courvoisier McCauley (10), and forward Brandon Johnson (10).

DePaul has struggled mightily since late December, going 3-10 in its last 13 games. Jones has been a bright spot for the Blue Demons, however, with the sophomore forward averaging 14.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. DePaul is 15-8 against the spread in 2021-22.

What you need to know about Butler

Meanwhile, the Marquette Golden Eagles typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday Butler proved too difficult a challenge. Butler secured an 85-79 win over the Golden Eagles. The Bulldogs can attribute much of their success to forward Bryce Golden, who had 22 points, and forward Bryce Nze, who had 12 points in addition to nine rebounds.

Butler won its previous meeting against DePaul 63-59 on Dec. 29. The Bulldogs, who have lost seven of their last 10 games, desperately need to get back on track before the Big East Tournament opens in March. Chuck Harris, Bo Hodges, and Jayden Taylor combine to give the Bulldogs on the more dynamic backcourts in the conference. Butler is 10-15 against the spread in 2021-22.
