Scouting: Rutgers @ DePaul
Rutgers (13-12, 3-9) at DePaul (8-16, 1-11)
When: 8 p.m. at Allstate Arena
TV: ESPNU
Radio: WSCR 670-AM
The skinny: The Scarlet Knights looked like DePaul's best bet for another Big East win, but then they shocked No. 7 Georgetown on Sunday. Sophomore guard Mike Rosario (16.4 ppg, 58 3s) leads Rutgers in scoring, though 6-foot-7 junior Jonathan Mitchell (12.1 ppg) has come on strong lately. A positive sign for the Demons? Rutgers has lost its last 17 road games. DePaul discovered a new threat in Sunday's loss at Seton Hall: Freshman forward Tony Freeland delivered a career-high 18 points and 8 rebounds. However, Freeland's free-throw shooting (13 of 33) contributes to the nation's worst team percentage (56.3).
