This is a 10* BIG EAST DISCORD TOP SIDE on DePaul.

THis is the first round of the Big East Tournament. Providence is decent and DePaul is poor.

I'm not calling for an outright victory, but we're expecting the Blue Demons to be more competitive than what Las Vegas is trying to lead us to believe.

This is a double-revenge game for the Blue Demons after dropping both regular season games to the Friars. Most recently DePaul lost 77-71 to Marquette on Tuesday.

The Friars finished 13-12 overall, but after their inexplicable 54-52 win over Villanova last Thursday, a letdown here vs. their lowly opponent is going to be imminent.

These teams allow almost identical points, as DePaul concedes 71.2, while Providence allows 69.7.

It's difficult to beat a team three times in one season. I'm not saying that the Friars are going to lose this game SU, but we do absolutely believe this is way too many points to be giving up considering the situation.

Grab as many points as you can, the play is on DePaul.

Good luck, NP
