Dons Coming Off Another Disappointing Loss

Two games ago against Boise State they lost 63-58 and in the last game against Grand Canyon they lost 76–72. They were outscored in the second half 43-36 and that led to the defeat. The Dons on the season are averaging 85.5 points while their defense is giving up 62.5 points per game. The stats are strong for this team but it hasn’t resulted in wins the last two games. This is a huge game for San Francisco. 

It’s Going to be a Long Season for DePaul 

It’s going to be a long season for DePaul and they are coming off another loss on Friday. They outscored South Carolina 36-32 in the second half but it wasn’t enough as they ended up losing by four points. Chicago Carter Jr was the top player for DePaulputting up 24 points, six rebounds, and two assists. Deaul on the season is averaging 71.8 points while their defense is giving up 73 points per game. In this game the defense is going to need to step up or it’s going to be a long game.

Shane’s Free Pick

This DePaul defense is an issue and it’s what is going to hurt them here. The Dons on the season are averaging 85.5 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. DePaul’s offense is fine, but they aren’t going to keep up and it will be San Francisco that is going to get the job done. Back San Francisco against the spread to cash here.
