Head to Head
Teams Last 10
DePaul Blue Demons
The DePaul Blue Demons finished 10th in the 11-team Big East this season, finishing ahead of only Georgetown in the standings. Despite home wins over Xavier and Villanova in conference play this season, the Blue Demons went just 3-17 in the Big East. Here, they will look for a fourth win against a conference foe this year, as they take on Seton Hall to kick off their Big East Tournament.
DePaul has kept things competitive with Seton Hall so far this year. They lost both meetings with the Pirates in the regular season, but dropped them by a combined nine points. If they can find any sort of offense against Seton Hall’s stout defense, the Blue Demons could pull a first round upset here.
Seton Hall Pirates
The Seton Hall Pirates finished seventh in the Big East, going 10-10 in conference play and 17-14 overall. The Pirates snapped a three-game losing streak in the final day of the regular season, when they beat Providence on the road by 24 points. Seton Hall will look to build off of that blowout win with a victory over DePaul on Wednesday.
This season, defense and rebounding have been the calling card for the Pirates, and this game should be no different. Seton Hall is allowing over 12 fewer points per game than DePaul this season, and their defensive superiority could be the difference in this one.
