For the first time this century, the DePaul Blue Demons are 8-0 at home to begin the season!
The Blue Demons took care of business against the Incarnate Word Cardinals, winning by an 81-71 margin Wednesday evening.
The evening started on a sour note for the Blue Demons, as the school announced sophomore guard Jalen Coleman-Lands would be out for the next few weeks with a broken hand. Coleman-Lands suffered the injury in the second half of DePaul win against UIC and had surgery Tuesday.
Once the game began, the Blue Demons found themselves off to a sluggish start, trailing Incarnate Word by four with ten minutes left in the frame.
