The skinny: After forcing 30 turnovers in Sunday's 114-81 victory over Chicago State, Oliver Purnell and his staff are intrigued to see how their guys fare against Western Carolina. Why? Because the Catamounts used to play Clemson, so they know all of DePaul's presses and traps and will be better prepared to dissect them. How will the Blue Demons fare if and when they don't get as many easy baskets off their defense? DePaul shot 59 percent overall Sunday but just 5 of 22 on 3-pointers. Point guards Jeremiah Kelly and Brandon Young combined for 11 assists and 7 turnovers in the opener.
