The midgets each score 30 tonight.
Even the DePaulia says MU is undersized.
Sam is 6'8".

...and our defense is porous
....that's an understatement; we just trade 3 pointers for two pointers.
Memo to The DePaulia: "Toughness is a skill that every Division I b-ball player needs to develop.
"If there was an advanced statistic that quantified heartbreak in losses, DePaul might lead the country in that category this season.
First, there was the 89-79 overtime loss against Oregon way back in the PK80 Invitational tournament. Then, there was the 62-60 loss against Northwestern on Dec. 16 when the Blue Demons went 9-for-24 from the free-throw stripe (37.5 percent) and couldn?t cash in on a possession to tie or win at the end of the game. In losses against Xavier and Providence, the Blue Demons surrendered double-digit leads in the second half and they also dropped a winnable home game against Georgetown on Jan. 2 to add to a season full of adversity."
DePaulia reminds me of Genitalia.
DePail cannot carry a bucket or shoot the ball very well from three or two (yeah). They also don't defend the trey very well. Sounds like just what the doctor ordered.
They are improved on defense, but not great. I think this is more about them being balanced. Stop Maric and Strus, and what the hell happened to Eli Cain this year?

We also haven't played an offense as atrocious as DePaul's. We'll hold them under 50% eFG.
