In the second game of a Tuesday Big East Tournament double-header, DePaul will square off with Rutgers at 9 p.m. EST. The Blue Demons notched a 75-69 victory in the only other match-up between the clubs this season.
Mike Rice is coming back.
Arlesia Morse had 16 to lead the Golden Eagles, but they fell short and exited the Big East tournament in the second round.
The Panthers rode a red-hot shooting effort to their 24th win of the season.
Despite the strange rumors afterward, there was no misunderstanding about Syracuse's beatdown of DePaul in the Dome.
Plenty of DePaul turnovers made it much easier on Syracuse, who shot just 11 percent from beyond the arc.
