DePaul's Basketball Team Struggles in Big East Season, Faces Uphill Battle Against Providence

DePaul's basketball team has faced significant challenges throughout the Big East season, enduring a losing streak of 13 consecutive games. The team has not secured a victory since defeating Chicago State at home on December 30, and their away record stands at 0-7 for the season. The Blue Demons have struggled in a number of games, with six resulting in losses by at least 14 points, and five by at least 23 points. Following these challenges, Tony Stubblefield was relieved of his coaching duties, and the team is currently without their top player, Carter Jr. Additionally, DePaul suffered a 38-point defeat at the hands of Providence in their previous away game. Considering these factors, it is likely that the Friars will have the advantage in their upcoming match against DePaul.
