Loyola (8-3) at DePaul (4-6)

When: 1 p.m. at Allstate Arena

TV: Channel 26.2

Radio: WSCR 670-AM, WAUR 930-AM, WNTD 950-AM, WWCA 1270-AM

The skinny: For the first time in seven years, this once fierce rivalry has been rekindled. This looks like a tossup that should revolve around the Ramblers' ability to beat DePaul's press. With the emergence of redshirt freshman point guard Gabe Kindred, Loyola has the ability to play him and junior PG Courtney Stanley at the same time to limit turnovers. Coach Jim Whitesell did just that in last Saturday's tight game with Kansas State. The Blue Demons have the edge inside if 6-foot-11, 260-pound center Krys Faber maintains his consistency. He has scored in the 8- to 11-point range in the last nine games and averaged 8 rebounds in the last three games.
