CHICAGO – DePaul plays the first of two road games this week on Wednesday night at Seton Hall. Wednesday's game opens a five-game stretch in the schedule that features four road games. The Blue Demons also play at Marquette on Saturday before hosting Xavier next week.
Wednesday's game can be seen on FS1 with Brian Custer (play-by-play) and Jim Spanarkel (analyst) handling the broadcast duties. The game can also be seen online at foxports.com or the FOX Sports app. DePaul's radio tandem of Zach Zaidman (play-by-play) and Dave Corzine (analyst) can be heard on WYLL (1160 AM) and online on DePaul All-Access at depaulbluedemons.com/live. In-game updates can be followed on Twitter at @DePaulHoops and live stats are available at depaulbluedemons.com.
Seton Hall is 15-4 overall and 7-0 in the BIG EAST following a 73-64 win against Providence last Wednesday. DePaul stands at 13-7 and 1-6 in league play after 79-66 loss against St. John's on Saturday.
Blue Demons vs. Top 25: No. 10/10 Seton Hall is the third ranked opponent of the season for the Blue Demons. Butler was DePaul's second straight ranked opponent following the game at No. 14/15 Villanova. A year ago, the Blue Demons posted a 1-3 record against ranked opponents.
With its No. 5/5 ranking, Butler was the highest-ranked opponent to visit Wintrust Arena since No. 3/4 Xavier on March 3, 2018. The Musketeers defeated the Blue Demons, 65-62, in that game. The 2017-18 season also saw No. 1-ranked Villanova at Wintrust Arena.
Before the 79-66 win over fifth-ranked Butler on Jan. 18, DePaul's last win over a top five team was a 64-57 victory at Allstate Arena over No. 5/5 Kansas on Dec. 2, 2006.
