DePaul Pregame Predictions

St. John's-
DePaul-

Please post all score predictions here only.

Johnnies- 66
Demons- 64

St.John's - 69
Depaul - 63

I think they'll have a lot of trouble w Harrison.

We win 80 something 70 something. 
Barn burner like last year.

Johnnies by 5 or 6. SJU forces a lot of turnovers and makes FTs.

Safest big city in America - 72

Chiraq - 65

We need this game

74 St. John's

65 Depaul

Won't be easy.  Like the Nova game they will get scoring opportunities.  Open looks and fast breaks should be available.

Need to score early and get a lead they can build on.

Statistically they are the worst outside shooting team in the Big East but they are one of the top scoring teams overall.  Their defense also is not good statistically.  I think we need to force them out of the paint and make them outscore us from outside the arc to win.  Matchup zone with Obekpa inside should cause a lot of problems if we force them to take bad shots and don't let them control to paint.   We control the lane and don't let them dribble penetrate and we win.

Benji Wilson - 62

Sweat Pea Daniels- 71

Looking at those stats you have to think Obepka could be in line for a HUGE game.  Keep him out of foul trouble and we win one on the road.

This team is too unpredictable to predict lol

it would be awesome to start watching his offensive game pick up. Teams will really be afraid of him.

Banks - 64
Rizzuto - 69

Guiliani 68, Obama 53

We win 83-77

70-60, St. John's.

Katz' Deli-77

Perry's Deli-71

I have a feeling this is going to be a tough one. We'll fall behind early, but we'll pull this one out.

67-66 SJU.

I think DePaul will be favored by a couple points being the home team. I like STJ moneyline if so
