What to Know

The DePaul Blue Demons and the Villanova Wildcats are set to square off in a Big East matchup at 9 p.m. ET Jan. 10 at Wintrust Arena. The Blue Demons are out to stop an eight-game streak of losses at home.

DePaul came up short against the Butler Bulldogs last week, falling 78-70. Forward Javan Johnson had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 34 minutes but putting up just eight points on 3-for-12 shooting.

Meanwhile, Villanova came up short against the Xavier Musketeers this past Saturday, falling 88-80. Villanova's defeat came about despite a quality game from forward Cam Whitmore, who had 26 points. Whitmore's performance made up for a slower matchup against the Georgetown Hoyas last Wednesday. Whitmore's points were the most he has had all season.

DePaul is expected to lose this next one by 6. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the team is 2-4-1 ATS when expected to lose.

With the two teams each stumbling in off of a loss, both will be hungry for the victory. If Villanova want to win Tuesday, they will need to focus on stopping DePaul's guard Umoja Gibson, who had 16 points and eight assists, and forward Yor Anei, who had 14 points in addition to three blocks. We'll see whether or not they are up to the challenge.
