Radio: WSCR 670-AM

Skinny: The Blue Demons have just three more games before slamming into Big East play, so they're running out of time to solve their half-court defensive woes ...and their rebounding issues ... and their 3-point shooting eyes. DePaul ranks 338th nationally in 3-point accuracy (25.0 percent) and ranks not much better in grabbing offensive rebounds and preventing opponents from doing the same. Demons coach Oliver Purnell says he needs 5-7 players to show up every night in order to win and Tony Freeland and Jeremiah Kelly didn't pull their usual share of the load in Saturday's loss to Ball State. Milwaukee, which took Marquette to the wire on Nov. 27, gets 13.3 points and 7.0 rebounds from 6-foot-7, 230-pound senior Anthony Hill.
