DePaul at Xavier: 2/5/22 College Basketball Picks and Prediction

The Blue Demons are averaging 72.8 points per game on 43% shooting from the field. They are allowing opponents to score 70.4 points per game. They are shooting 69.3% from the free throw line.

The Xavier Musketeers are coming off of a 2 point win against Butler in their last time out. Zach Freemantle scored 23 points to lead the Musketeers. He was the only double digit scorer in the win. 

The Xavier Musketeers are led in scoring by Jack Nunge who averages 12.3 points and 7.2 rebounds for this team. Paul Scruggs averages 11.6 points and 4.6 rebounds a game for this team. Nate Johnson is the third leading scorer for the Musketeers as he averages 10.6 points a game for this team.

The Musketeers are averaging 73.6 points per game on 44.9% shooting from the field. They are allowing opponents to score 64.4 points per game. They are shooting 71.2% from the free throw line. 

The Blue Demons are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. They are also 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. The Blue Demons aren’t the same team without Freeman-Liberty in the lineup. I can’t back DePaul until they get Freeman back as he is a big chunk of their offense. Although the Musketeers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall, they should be able to pick up the cover at home against a free falling DePaul team.
