Providence is coming into this game with a 6-4 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They opened the season with 5 straight wins at home against weaker opponents, but now they have lost 4 of their last 5 games as their schedule has been getting harder. Their only win in that span came against BYU who is in the 1st season of a new head coach, and they won that game at home as well. They have lost all 4 of their games this season that were away from home. They played in a tournament in a neutral location and lost all 3 games, losing by 2 to Oklahoma, losing by 11 to Davidson, and losing by 16 to Indiana. They are also coming off of a 6 point loss against Rhode Island in their last game which was their 1st road game of the season as well. This is now their 2nd road game and 1st conference game of the season, and they are going up against a DePaul team that is 7-1 this season. DePaul was awful last season and have been near the bottom of the Big East for a few years now, but they are in the 1st season of a new head coach and Holtmann has been turning this team around. They are coming off of their 1st loss of the season against Texas Tech in their last game, losing by 14 points on the road, but they opened the season with 7 straight wins at home and will be back there now. They have been dominant in these home games as well, winning their last 6 straight games there by 9+ points. They are going to be hungry to bounce back from their loss in their 1st road game while Providence has not been playing well recently. DePaul will cover the spread in this game.
