DePaul Blue Demons
It certainly was not a very strong regular season for this ball DePaul team. I think they finished up right around where people thought they would.
The Blue Demons lost to the Connecticut Huskies on Saturday by a score of 75-68. At one point, they were down by a lot of points and did make a slight comeback, but at the end of the day, it was not enough.
Sure, they might have picked up some wins throughout the course of the season that surprised some people, but they did not win on a consistent enough level. It is going to take them some time before they can get to the level of some of the top teams in the Big East.
The defense for these guys really had no answer for Adama Sanogo, who ended up with 26 points and 11 rebounds. The Huskies kept feeding the ball to him down in the painted are and the Blue Demons really could not stop him.
St. John’s Red Storm
I would say that it was definitely an interesting season for St. John’s. There were times where they looked very good and dynamic, but there were other times where they did not look that impressive at all.
In a 30 game schedule, the Red Storm ended up going 16-14. Given the kind of players they have, I think a lot of people expected them to be better than that mark.
This squad dropped to the Marquette Golden Eagles on Saturday by a score of 85-77. Yes, they did lose to a solid team, but it would have been a good sign for them if they had been able to knock them off on the road.
In their last game, I just did not feel the defense played with the required intensity in order to win ball games. Sure, the Golden Eagles are a very good offense, but they really had no answers for them the whole night.

Just a little bit ago, DePaul was able to pull off the upset over St. John’s. Will they be able to do so when they face off in round one on Wednesday night?
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: DePaul ATS
There is no question that this game will be a big challenge for the Blue Demons, but I do feel they will be up for it and can at least make it competitive.
In the two times these squads have met this year, both of them have been high scoring affairs. To me, the only way that I can see DePaul hanging in there is if they are effective on offense because it is going to be very challenging for them to stop that offense for the Red Storm.
It would not shock me if St. John’s got the win, but this spread is too high for me to lay with them.
I like DePaul getting the 5.5 points at MSG.
