About this Article

To have any chance at all to win basketball games, DePaul needs big games from scoring leaders Cleveland Melvin and Brandon Young, and the Blue Demons need the rest of the roster to play at maximum efficiency. In the first half of Monday night’s game against Big East rival Marquette at the Allstate Arena, DePaul rolled out to a 41-29 lead, but DePaul started fading over the final four minutes of the first half and never recovered, falling to 18th-ranked Marquette 89-76.
