DePaul showed their depth after rallying to win 81-78 in a tough game against Southeast Missouri State in their second game of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic.
The Blue Demons managed to win, but things did not always look up for the team. DePaul’s leading scorer, sophomore guard Eli Cain, was benched after picking up his third personal foul early in the first half. Before he left, Cain had only scored two points for the team.
The solid play off the bench from freshman guard Devin Gage and senior guard R.J. Curington helped to spur the Blue Demons’ second half comeback.
