After Saturday’s pomp and circumstance ushered in the new era of DePaul basketball by opening Wintrust Arena with a loss to Notre Dame, the Blue Demons got their first victory in their new building, picking up a (###) win over Delaware State Monday night.
While there were still a few things for DePaul to work on, it was all-around a far better performance than Saturday afternoon.
The Blue Demons never trailed and led by as many 21 points. Tre’Darius McCallum led the way with 17 points. Max Strus bounced back from his horrendous shooting effort on Saturday to add 15 points before fouling out late in the second half.
