DePaul extends Big East woes
A sputtering DePaul offense ignited too late Sunday. Trailing No. 13 Georgetown 53-36 with 7 minutes 18 seconds to play, the Blue Demons cut the gap to 11 points, but couldn’t get any closer and finally succumbed 67-50 before 8,595 fans at Allstate Arena.
The loss was the 21st straight in regular-season Big East play for DePaul (7-7, 0-2). After scoring 12 first-half points, Mac Koshwal closed with 16 points and 8 rebounds while Will Walker added nine.
“I know it’s the same old song, but it is hard to keep defending when you don’t score,” DePaul coach Jerry Wainwright said. It was Georgetown’s ninth straight victory over the Blue Demons.
