What to Know
After an eight-game homestand, the DePaul Blue Demons will be on the road. They will take on the Louisville Cardinals at 8 p.m. ET Friday at KFC Yum! Center.
The Blue Demons made easy work of the Duquesne Dukes on Tuesday and carried off an 87-67 win. DePaul got double-digit scores from four players: guard Javon Freeman-Liberty (26), center Nick Ongenda (13), forward Brandon Johnson (13), and guard Philmon Gebrewhit (11).
Meanwhile, U of L didn’t have too much breathing room in their game with the NC State Wolfpack on Saturday, but they still walked away with a 73-68 victory. Louisville’s forward Malik Williams was one of the most active players for the squad, posting a double-double on 14 points and 11 boards.
DePaul is expected to lose this next one by 7.5. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.
Their wins bumped DePaul to 7-1 and U of L to 6-2. In their win, the Blue Demons relied heavily on Javon Freeman-Liberty, who had 26 points and five assists along with nine rebounds. the Cardinals will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
