Key Factors to Consider
- DePaul Blue Demons are 1-0 to start the season, having defeated Chicago State by 30 points in their previous outing. Stonehill Skyhawks are also 1-0, but their competition level is notably lower. DePaul's roster features more depth and higher-caliber talent, and they are expected to dominate both offensively and defensively. Stonehill, while improved, is still transitioning from Division II and faces a significant challenge against a Power Conference team.
- There is no recent head-to-head history between DePaul and Stonehill. This is likely the first meeting between the two programs.
- DePaul has a few injury concerns: Delalic (Knee) and Flores (Redshirt) are listed as questionable. Stonehill's injury report is not available, but no major injuries have been reported for the Skyhawks.
- DePaul is playing at home, which provides a significant advantage. The game is being played at Wintrust Arena, a venue where DePaul typically performs well. The crowd support and familiarity with the court could further boost DePaul's performance.
- DePaul is motivated to build on their strong start and establish themselves as a competitive team in the Big East. Stonehill is motivated to prove themselves against a higher-level opponent and gain valuable experience.

Predicted Outcome
DePaul Blue Demons are expected to win this game comfortably. The spread of -22.5 is justified given the talent gap and DePaul's recent performance. The over/under of 145.5 is reasonable, but the game could go over if DePaul's offense continues to click.
