Current Records: Texas-El Paso 6-2; DePaul 5-4
What to Know
The DePaul Blue Demons will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They will square off against the Texas-El Paso Miners at 6:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Wintrust Arena. Texas-El Paso should still be riding high after a victory, while the Blue Demons will be looking to right the ship.
DePaul received a tough blow on Wednesday as they fell 86-67 to the St. John's Red Storm. A silver lining for DePaul was the play of forward Da'Sean Nelson, who had 13 points along with nine boards. Nelson's performance made up for a slower contest against the Loyola Chicago Ramblers on Saturday.
Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Texas-El Paso at home against the Northern New Mexico Eagles on Saturday as the squad secured an 87-50 win.
DePaul is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in three of their four home games.
The Blue Demons are now 5-4 while the Miners sit at 6-2. Texas-El Paso is 4-1 after wins this season, and DePaul is 1-2 after losses.
