Skinny: The Blue Demons take the Tracy Webster Show on the road for the first time. They won't have junior center Mac Koshwal (right foot), which won't help in the rebounding battle with 6-foot-8, 255-pound Sean Evans and 6-5, 215-pound D.J. Kennedy. The latter scored 17 points in last year's meeting when St. John's shot 60 percent and whipped DePaul by 21 in Rosemont. Koshwal's absence also makes it tougher for senior guard Will Walker to find open space to maneuver. A marked man even before Koshwal's injury, Walker has hit 12 of 47 shots (26 percent) in Big East play and he's 4 of 22 from 3-point range. DePaul did get a career-high 30 points from junior guard Mike Stovall against Providence on Thursday, but 17 of those came after the Friars built a 20-point lead with 13:27 to go.
