Continue mastery of the Upper Midwest.

No let downs. Fight on both ends of the floor.

Isn't Wisconsin in the upper Midwest?😎

Stop messing up my memes with alternative facts (says the boy who grew up in Milwaukee).

Gotta show up with the same intensity. This isn't previous years Depaul who will just roll over. Need to play a full 40 minute game and take it to them.

Speaking of intensity...

[FrazierFanatic]

Not a bit surprised. Hoya Pride - on and off the court.

This. 2 wins against top 20 teams (I know, I know. Creighton isn't really top 20 without Watson) could lend itself to overlooking Depaul. But hopefully our still-lowly spot in the standings will help avoid that. I suspect the staff has already started hammering that in.

Agree have to take DePaul seriously, looking forward to seeing this one in person! This will be the last time GU meets DePaul at Allstate, next year they will be in their new arena which will be closer to their campus than Verizon is to GU. Need the W!

I'm definitely a bit nervous about the DePaul matchup.  I consider my nerves a positive, because that means this game now matters.  This is definitely a game that even a good team could overlook.  It's wedged after two significant victories and before big games against Seton Hall and Villanova.  Plus, even though DePaul isn't very good, they have still played hard for the most part.  I hope we can go in there, play tough, and come out with a victory.  Then I'll be ready to cheer them on Saturday against Seton Hall.

Basketball is a simple game: rebounds, layups and foul shots. Take care of those, both ways, and you should be all right. Hoyas need to focus for 40 minutes. GO HOYAS!!!! Beat the Blue Demons.

The point is suddenly this game means something. Isn't being a fan fun?!

Fun/agony.

Now it is up to JT III to assure that these kids do not overlook DePaul. They are not good enough to overlook any team.

[blueandgray]

Love LJ.

Gotta get out to a quick start for this game.

[hoyasaxa2003]

I would be surprised if this team overlooks anything - they're 3-6 and it's clear they have a lot of work to do to be relevant for the post-season. Let's hope that's the case, at least.

Let's go Hoyas! Beat DePaul!!!

[hoyainspirit]

I never know which Hoya team will show up. I hope it's the one from the last two games.

Just one student is grinding??

[KHoyaNYC]

We have to play with the same urgency we did against Butler. It's more fun to watch and wins us games.
