The DePaul Blue Demons have improved over last season, but they're still struggling through Big East play, and they head into Wednesday night's game at UConn on a four-game losing streak.

As is usually the case with Jim Calhoun's teams, the Huskies are playing outstanding interior defense -- opponents are hitting just 39.5% of their twos against UConn -- but they aren't creating a lot of turnovers. And since DePaul's offense takes pretty good care of the ball, that's probably not an area that will lead to their demise.
What will be a potential game-changer is UConn's offensive rebounding prowess. Defensive rebounding has been a glaring issue for the Blue Demons all season, and if they don't step up on the glass against the Huskies, the odds of an upset decrease considerably.
