DePaul vs Minnesota Key Stats
Both teams have done well while scoring. This season, the Blue Demons have collected 79 points on average per game. The duo of Javan Johnson and Umoja Gibson have done a great job averaging over 18 points per game. Javan has been brilliant when it comes to field goal conversions, which provides greater strength to the team.
Defense is the key to success and they have done well in this department too. They have 8 steals and 6 blocks per game on average this season and look well-placed going into the game.
The Golden Gophers have done well on offense, averaging 66.5 points per game. They have players like Dawson Garcia and Ta'lon Cooper who have contributed with over 29 points in between. Dawson has been brilliant with over 12 FGs made in 25 attempts and is likely to play an important role in this game too.
Though they have played well and have won games by a good margin, they need to reshape their defense. They have averaged less than 4 steals and blocks per game this season, which is a somewhat worrying sign going into the game.
