Marquette having a strong year, but Dayton at home is a tough ask.

UConn has a lot of pieces, but Hurley knows PG is so key and Diarra is good, but good enough to orchestrate?

A few are definitely winnable.

It was pretty evident from their Maui games (even the cupcakes) - that they were missing Newton. An incredibly efficient PG.

Diarra was a Great Sub the past two years, but seems to have gotten exposed a bit taking the Leading role. Mahaney seems more of a fit coming in off the bench.

If UConn figures their PG sitch out... they'll be fine

DePaul and Providence are only two teams favored.

That’s right, Dayton has -1.5 over Marquette today.

Would be nice for Big East to have another big weekend. Also hope staff sees this weekend as a missed opportunity and appropriately shifts for next year.

GWOW!.... dayton favored... damn... in translation- Public will be all over Top 10 ranked Marq... meaning... Dayton will most likely win... ughh...

Hmmm, do I root for Posh or Shaka? Such a tough call...

We should be playing Gonzaga tonight at MSG , not UCONN.

Until our schedule makers get some meaningful OOC games on our Schedule , we will remain totally reliant on our BE Record ,
It’s not good , like last year when G ‘town , DePaul essentially gave 4 wins to the top league finishers.
Kansas at MSG would mean twice as much to us as Kansas State at CA.
Just saying , we need to schedule and beat some of these big 5 Schools in BB
Wining 1 of the 2 games against Baylor and Georgia would have given us that quality Win

DePaul shoots well from perimeter, but defends poorly it appears.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Depaul is not very talented. They play hard and are well coached but they just do not have much talent.

We should put these guys in a blender and run them out of Carnesecca.

They defend poorly because they lack athleticism and quickness but they can shoot.

And physicality

 

[NCJohnnie]

Depaul getting into foul trouble that is going to cost them down the stretch. Gunn is a legit scorer for them; transfer from Indiana

DePaul up 15 now 5 min left. Game over. Good win.

Depaul doesn't look that slow and unathletic today against a decent Wichita State team. We need to take them seriously Tuesday; they have a decent bench as well as some kids who can shoot it and are hard nosed.

 

[Andrew]

DePaul smoked them in the second half. Could be a Quad 2 game Wednesday. Need to step it up.

So much better this season. They can shoot it.

Seton Hall playing with admirable defensive energy so far.

Their neither.
