The Red Wolves (1-3) shot 47.9 percent from the floor on 23-of-48 shooting against the Blue Demons (3-1) in the opening game of the 2019 Maggie Dixon Classic. However, DePaul was effective in turning those turnovers into scoring opportunities, earning 48 points off turnovers. Twenty of those turnovers came in the first half, with A-State cleaning things up in the second half and only giving up seven takeaways.
“We have to get off to a better start,” head coach Matt Daniel said. “We started the game slow and we have to get a lot better on defense.
