DePaul @ Illinois-Chicago

Current Records: DePaul 8-1; Illinois-Chicago 3-6

What to Know

The DePaul Blue Demons are 4-1 against the Illinois-Chicago Flames since December of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Tuesday. DePaul's road trip will continue as they head to Credit Union 1 Arena at 8 p.m. ET to face off against Illinois-Chicago. Coming off of a win even when the odds were against them, the Blue Demons have to be feeling especially confident now that the spread is in their favor.

DePaul was able to grind out a solid victory over the Louisville Cardinals last week, winning 62-55. Forward David Jones took over for DePaul, finishing with 33 points (a whopping 53% of their total) along with 14 rebounds. Jones' performance made up for a slower game against the Duquesne Dukes last Tuesday. Jones' points were the most he has had all season.

Speaking of close games: Illinois-Chicago came out on top in a nail-biter against the Central Michigan Chippewas this past Saturday, sneaking past 71-67.

This next contest looks promising for the Blue Demons, who are favored by a full 10 points. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a five-game streak of ATS wins.

Their wins bumped DePaul to 8-1 and the Flames to 3-6. Jones will be someone to keep an eye on after he posted a double-double on 33 points and 14 boards last week. Let's see if he can build on that strong performance or if Illinois-Chicago's defense can bottle him up.
