Key Highlights
- A current senior at the university would have seen the following men's basketball seasons: 10-23 (3-17 in Big East play) as a freshman.
- 3-29 (0-20 Big East) as a sophomore.
- 14-20 (4-16 Big East) as a junior. But now, second-year head coach Chris Holtmann seems to have the Blue Demons moving in the right direction.
- And with student support in the stands matching the team finding some momentum on the court, Holtmann took the opportunity to give back to the student section in a manner most undergraduates can appreciate: free drinks. On Friday night, DePaul topped Marquette 80-75 at Wintrust Arena, the Blue Demons' third Big East win of the season and third straight Big East home win.
- The victory, which came in front of a record number of student attendees, makes this season the first since 2014-15 in which DePaul has won three or more conference games by Jan.
