The DePaul Blue Demons have played only one game this season, a 91-72 win as a 16.5-point favorite over Western Illinois on December 3. I'm not sure they have the tempo and fitness needed to hang around with Providence for a full game. The Friars had won three straight prior to a disappointing 70-64 loss at Butler last time out. This looks like a good spot to bounce back as a home favorite.

Blue Demons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. Friars are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite.

10* play on Providence.
