INDIANAPOLIS – DePaul men's basketball dropped its game Saturday afternoon at Hinkle Fieldhouse to Butler, 74-60. The Blue Demons were led by Jalen Terry with a season-high 15 points and six rebounds. Terry tied his personal best with five made three-pointers. Terry was joined in double-digit scoring by Elijah Fisher and K.T. Raimey with 13 and 12, respectively.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
DePaul (3-15, 0-7 BIG EAST) traded baskets back-and-forth early with Butler (12-7, 3-5 BIG EAST) before the Bulldogs took a 9-5 lead at the first media timeout. A pair of blocks by Churchill Abass kept Butler off the board before Raimey drained a pair of threes, tying the game at 11. DePaul's defense held Butler to a stretch of 1-of-13, taking the 14-11 lead on a Terry three. Butler responded with a 13-2 run off several DePaul turnovers, before ending the half on two three-pointers.
Out of halftime, Terry hit two quick three-pointers as DePaul pulled within 10 points. Butler continued to punch back with seven straight points for their largest lead of the game, 47-30. DePaul got a 10-2 run going thanks to plays from Fisher, Raimey and Terry. After the run brought the game to nine points, Butler's Pierre Brooks sank back-to-back threes that would keep Butler's double-digit lead for the remainder of the game.
