Keep fighting warriors. Move the ball and take better shots. Get this one and keep our hopes alive.

Big game for the Hoyas if they want to keep their post season chances alive. It will be important to get off to a solid start. DePaul has really struggled lately and it looks like some of the players have lost confidence in themselves and the team. If you can get a lead on these guys early, you might get some of them to start playing hero ball, or even, just mail it in. They pretty much know they have no chance of making the NCAA tourney at this point so don't give them any early confidence and the Hoyas might be able to put them away early.

I think the key to this game is crush DePaul’s spirit in the first 10 mins (like Nova did last night). If this game is close at half then DePaul will taste a win and I don’t like our chances in that scenario. Hope Yurt can provide something.

I think this DePaul team has given up. They haven't put out much effort in their last few games and I think if the Hoyas get up early, it's game. I hope this is true and the Hoyas can get a win, but DePaul has to have this one circled as a winnable game. Take it from them and keep the season alive.

Win win win, get payback for last year’s fiasco that had them putting their bench clowns in against us. Ghuck Depaul, this is a matter of pride.

We need Blair, Q, and Timmy to rebound like Pickett; we need to be smart with the ball and share it; and we need to play loose and have fun. Huge game. We are very much alive with a win.

Charlie Moore had a bit of a field day in high pick and rolls in game one. His foul trouble was probably more important than we appreciated in the moment and then Wahab went on his block party. Interested to see if any adjustments there

All hands on deck, the team knows what's at stake. Hopefully Yurt's back, maybe Mac lets have a solid team win and an important one. Go Hoyas!

GAMEDAY!!!
Love these late games, gives us time for a full day of activities but hope the guys stay focused. This is as much of a must win as the rest of our games this year, let's show up like so. Get fired up, bring 40 mins of energy, and put DePaul in their grave!
Go Hoyas!

Line is now DePaul -3. Probably only St Johns would be a underdog versus them right now. Can’t say I blame the oddsmakers.

I’m guessing Depaul has seen the Providence tape and will employ the same physical style. They know they have more depth and if they can get us in double trouble we are in trouble. I sure hope Yurt can go...

Don't think DePaul can be as physical as Providence. They will get in foul trouble if they try.
