The DePaul Blue Demons begin 2009 with a road trip to Providence, Rhode Island as they battle the Providence Friars in a Big East conference game. The Blue Demons are coming off a New Years Eve conference loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish by a score of 92-82. Sophomores Mac Koshwal and Dar Tucker lead the Blue Demons, with twenty-four and twenty-two points respectfully, but the inability to properly defend was a key component in the defeat. The Friars fended off an early charge from the St. John’s Red Storm, and glided to a 75-52 home victory. It was a balanced effort for the Friars, as four scored in double digits, lead by big man Randall Hanke’s seventeen points. Providence won the last match-up between the two, with a 79-65 victory at Providence. Hanke was the leading scorer in this contest, with twenty-one points. DePaul was led by Draelon Burns who had seventeen in the defeat.
