Florida Gulf Coast (6-12) at DePaul (8-9)

When: 7:30 p.m. at the Allstate Arena

Radio: WSCR 670-AM

The skinny: This game won't help DePaul's improving RPI (96), but the timing is favorable. After a 2-7 start, the Blue Demons can get back to the .500 mark before visiting a reeling Marquette team Saturday. DePaul originally was supposed to play Wyoming but needed a replacement after the Cowboys backed out. Florida Gulf Coast, an Atlantic Sun Conference team located in Fort Myers, Fla., lost three straight before beating Kennesaw State on Saturday. Swingman Casey Wolleb leads the Eagles with 15.7 points per game. DePaul received solid play from reserves Dar Tucker, Matija Poscic and Will Walker against Rutgers, and all three could see increased time tonight if several seniors continue to struggle.
