DePaul vs UConn Game Preview
Why DePaul Will Win
It’s been a rough run for the Blue Demons, but the team is shooting just well enough to make this a fight.
It was great at keeping up in a tough loss at Marquette, the three point shooting hasn’t been bad, and there’s just enough pop to make UConn push a bit more than it might like.
The Huskies might be able to move the ball around well, but DePaul should be able to generate enough points off of turnovers to get on the move, and …
Why UConn Will Win
DePaul can’t stop anyone lately.
It’s on a ten-game losing streak mainly because it’s struggling to tilt the court the other way. The D is okay at forcing the tough shot, but the rebounding isn’t there to take advantage of it.
UConn is a killer on the boards, and it’s about to generate more than its share of second-chance points. In the 90-76 win a few weeks ago it was +14 in rebounding margin with ten on the offensive glass.
That offensive board total was low for the Huskies, but that’s because it was making everything. DePaul doesn’t guard from the outside hard enough to stop a few big scoring runs.
What’s Going To Happen
As always, DePaul will give it a good go and battle hard, but it won’t be able to get the defensive big plays needed to hold on.
UConn losses when the other offense goes off and hits at least 50%. DePaul will struggle to get above 40%. The points will be there, though, to make the Huskies keep on scoring.
