DePaul escapes trap game, beating UIC, 72-66

On Tuesday night, the DePaul Blue Demons entered Credit Union 1 Arena to play an inter-city road game against the UIC Flames.

UIC came out of the gates with an 11-3 run. People claimed that this could be a trap game for the Blue Demons after an emotional win against Louisville on Friday night and a look ahead to Northwestern this upcoming Saturday. These claims looked to be true after the Flames’ strong start.

DePaul quickly answered those claims and tied the game at 13 after the U16 media timeout. UIC would answer right back and bring their lead back up to six (23-17) with 10 minutes left in the half.
