DePaul won the season opener 78-72 over Robert Morris as Eli Cain, who was on the All-Freshman team in the Big East last season, scored 21 points and Tre'Darius McCallum added 12 points and eight rebounds. Coach Dave Leitao is rebuilding this program and has a lot of young talent to help improve on a 9-22 season in 2015-16. Rutgers defeated Drexel 87-66 with Jonathan Laurent and Nigel Johnson scoring 15 points each and DeShawn Freeman adding 10 points and 10 rebounds. The Scarlet Knights have a new coach in Steve Pikiell and he has a big job ahead of him as the Knights struggled last year and finished 7-25. Rutgers is just 3-14 ATS its last 17 road games and the Blue Demons are a small favorite in this matchup. Play DePaul.

Pro Picks
DePaul at Rutgers
There are two teams that have had unexpected results and will collide at Rutgers tonight. DePaul was hopeful of turning the corner in the Big East, having a pair of highly skilled players in Cleveland Melvin and Brasndon Young. However, they are still falling shy of the win column. Rutgers owns wins here vs. Florida and Connecticut, but as much as they have risen high for big games against bigtime opponents, they have also lost to Princeton and Illinois State and bested the Ivy basement dweller Dartmouth by just six. That has left this team as one that plays to the level of the competition and the results have born that out as the Scarlet Knights are just 2-8 ATS in their last ten vs. a team with a losing road record. Play on DePaul.
