PROVIDENCE, R.I. – DePaul men's basketball is set for its final road game of the regular season, Wednesday, March 5, as the Blue Demons take on Providence. The game is slated for a 5:30 p.m. CT tip on FS1. John Fanta and Vic Parise have the television broadcast while Zach Zaidman and Dave Corzine will have DePaul's radio on Sirius XM and the DePaul Blue Demons app.
LAST TIME OUT
DePaul (11-18, 2-16 BIG EAST) was tested on the road against RV Creighton last week, 75-65. The Blue Demons effort was led by an 18-point, eight rebound performance by Isaiah Rivera. DePaul forced a BIG EAST season-high 13 turnovers by the Bluejays, while only having six as a team.
FROM THE RECORD BOOKS
The Blue Demons enter Wednesday's game four three-pointers away from breaking the school single-season three-point record of 273. The current record was set by the 2022-23 team and previously belonged to the 2014-15 squad.
THE SERIES
The overall series is led by Providence 41-13, including a 22-4 advantage in Rhode Island. The Blue Demons last victory in the series came March 10, 2021 in the BIG EAST Tournament.
In the first meeting between the two teams this season, Providence forced overtime to eventually take a 70-63 win in Chicago. Both DePaul and Providence have a different look to their teams coming into Wednesday's game as the Friars were led by 19 points and 10 rebounds from Bryce Hopkins, and DePaul 22 points from David Skogman – both players who will not be in action for this matchup.
SCOUTING PROVIDENCE
Providence (12-17, 6-12 BIG EAST) boasts a 10-5 record at Amico Mutual Pavilion this season, however the Friars have dropped two of their last three home games with a win coming Feb. 15 against Villanova.
Jayden Pierre and Bensley Joseph lead Providence's scoring efforts with 12.8 and 12.5 points, respectively. Freshman Oswin Erhunmwunse has made a mark for himself, ranking third in the BIG EAST with 49 blocks on the season. As a team, Providence ranks fourth in the BIG EAST in both three-point percentage and three-pointers per game shooting 35.8 percent as a team with an average of 9.3.
UP NEXT
DePaul hosts Georgetown, Saturday, March 8 for the team's final game of the regular-season. The game is slated for a 1 p.m. CT tip on FS1.
