Another Down Season for DePaul

DePaul did show some signs of life at times this season, but they are back to the struggles. DePaul faced off against St. John’s in the last game, and much like has been a problem this season, the offense let them down, scoring only 58 points. They only scored 25 points in the first half and couldn’t bounce back in the second half. Isaiah Riveria was one of the only bright spots on the offense, putting up 16 points. In three of the last four games, DePaul scored 58 points or less; in the other game, they went over that there were only 68 points scored. 

DePaul only has 11 wins of the season, but 10 of those have come at home, so that could be a positive. The offense struggling has been a new thing, and they are still averaging 72.2 points per game. They are ranked 27th in college basketball in terms of three-pointers attempted per game but are 179th in terms of the three-point percentage. The next recruiting class needs to have more three-pointer shooters. CJ Gunn is averaging 12.3 points per game. 

Why DePaul Will Beat Butler

• Butler has lost eight of its last nine road night games against Conference opponents.
• The home team has won each of Butler’s last three games.
• The home team has won the first half in each of Butler’s last three games.

Is Butler Figuring It Out?

Butler appears to be figuring it out, or at least it looked like they had heading into the last game. Butler had won three games in a row, and the offense was dominating, scoring at least 82 points in all three of the games. Against Xavier, though, the offense went back to struggling, putting up only 63 points. The defense also was awful, giving up 48 points in the first half. Jahmyl Telfort put up 20 points to help pace the team. Three players put up at least 14 points, but the rest of the team combined for only 15 points total. 

Away from home this season, Butler has a 1-7 record, but if they are going to pick up their second victory, this is the game for it to happen. Butler’s offense overall has been fine; the defense is giving up 72.4 points per game, which has been a problem. One area in which the team has found a ton of success is the 37.25 percent they are hitting from deep. This offense is very top-heavy, with Jahmyl Telfort and Pierre Brooks II pacing the offense by averaging at least 15.5 points per game. 

Why Butler Will Beat DePaul

• DePaul has lost each of its last 16 home night games against the Big East Conference.
• Butler has won each of its last 10 night games against DePaul.
• Butler has won the first half in six of its last seven games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
