Tarris Reed Jr. also added 16 points and 8 rebounds, while Jaylin Stewart scored 15 before exiting late with an injury.

DePaul (10-12, 1-10 Big East) came out strong, leading by as many as 14 in the first half behind Layden Blocker’s 18 points and CJ Gunn’s 14, but the Huskies outscored DePaul 43-24 in the second half to avoid an upset.
