This will be the 12th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 2-9 in their conference games this season. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 4 game losing streak that they were on. Their 4 losses in that span were against the Xavier Musketeers, the Creighton Bluejays, the Villanova Wildcats, and the UConn Huskies while their win came against the Xavier Musketeers in their last game.

Their offense is averaging 72.6 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 70.1 PPG against them. DePaul has an ATS record of 13-8 this season and their O/U record is 11-10.

 

DePaul has not been playing well in their recent games losing 4 of their last 5 games and they have been struggling ever since the turn of the new year. They have not been playing well against their conference opponents either with a 2-9 record in those games but they are going up against a Georgetown team that has been even worse in their conference games with a 0-10 record. Georgetown has lost 11 straight games and they have been getting smashed in a lot of those games by double digits. They are just not a competitive team in the Big East this season, DePaul has also been bad but they are coming off of a win in their last game and should have some confidence coming into this one. This game should be a confidence booster for DePaul as they take advantage of a bad Georgetown team and pick up their first double digit win at home in weeks.

“They got us out of our plays. We weren’t able to run our plays. The first half, the intensity we played with, we didn’t play with in the second half. They did a much better job of making us work for everything.” - Patrick Ewing on his team’s loss against Providence.

 

 

“We had some adversity in that game. The guys we have are pretty resilient. I’m proud of our group.” - Tony Stubblefield on his team’s win against Xavier.
