DePaul 4/1 3:00 FS1

Supposedly you only need 7 players. Would be interesting, hypothetically, to see someone like Rayvon Griffith getting big time minutes.

First game in the Crown Tourney in Vegas is here.

I have no idea what the lineup will look like because we have graduating seniors plus a few potential transfers outbound. As someone mentioned in transfer portal thread, there is an incentive for the seniors or transfers to stick around for this because this tourney pays out NIL money.

I can see some grads or transfers wanting to do well to impress future opportunities, but also they didn't seem to care during the season. Thus, they may just show up for a check. I hope otherwise as the uniforms still have Cincinnati on them.

DePaul finished 14-19 with 4 Big East wins after going 0-20 the year before. Former OSU coach Chris Holtmann is in year one. DePaul had losses to Texas Tech, St. John's and Northwestern in non-league play. Their Big East wins were Seton Hall, Providence, Georgetown 2x (plus once more in Big East Tournament).

DePaul's leading scorer is C.J. Gunn, an Indiana transfer who was very underwhelming his first two years at IU. Might as well call him the Gunnslinger because the guy just hunts for his own shot. Fourth-leading scorer Jacob Meyer is from Covington, KY and recently entered the portal.

The Blue Demons are 118 in Ken Pom.
