Not only was DePaul’s win over Georgetown a Big East win, but it was their first road win since Dec. 3, 2022.
Three players scored in double digits for DePaul, with guard CJ Gunn leading the way with 17 points on five-of-nine shooting while adding five rebounds.
DePaul took a 39-28 halftime lead, with Layden Blocker scoring all of his 14 points in the first half, including scoring DePaul’s final six points of the half.
Malik Mack and Drew Fielder led the scoring for Georgetown in the loss.
Mack had 19 points, six assists and two steals, while Fielder also had 19 points with eight rebounds and two blocks.
Caleb Williams scored ten points with six rebounds while Curtis Williams Jr. also scored ten points in the loss for Georgetown.
The win for DePaul snapped a five-game losing streak.
DePaul’s Big Ten conference losing streak was tied for the fourth-longest losing streak in conference play in the AP poll era, according to ESPN research.
The longest conference losing streak ever belongs to Colgate, which was a 47-game losing streak that spanned from 1984-1987.
With the win, DePaul improved to 10-9 (1-7 in Big East play) and will look to continue their winning ways when they play Creighton on Tuesday, at 9 p.m. ET.
The Hoyas fall to 12-6 (3-4 in Big East play) with the loss and will look to turn things around when they host Villanova on Monday at 6 p.m. ET.
A member of Chiefs Kingdom has a theory as to why Travis Kelce’s suite at Arrowhead Stadium had to be moved from its previous location once he began dating Taylor Swift.
Former Chicago Cubs star Sammy Sosa is being elected to the team’s Hall of Fame, alongside former first baseman Derek Lee.
The step towards reconciliation between Sosa and the Cubs began when Sosa released a statement in December.
"There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games. I never broke any laws. But in hindsight, I made mistakes and I apologize," Sosa said in a statement through Aurora Global Consulting.
After that statement, Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said the team is "ready to move forward together" and invited Sosa to the Cubs' annual fan convention.
Sosa attending the convention was the first time he had been with the Cubs in any official capacity since he last played for the team in 2004.
Sosa said that the apology in his statement from December was not about using performance-enhancing drugs.
"No. I'm referring, for example, look, 21 years out. I had the fans that loved me very much. I had to apologize to them, because, I mean, normally, they see me play so many years."
When Sosa was announced at the convention, he received a large ovation and ran onto the stage with an American Flag.
"People grow up," Sosa said via ESPN. "That's what happened to me. To give that statement out, it was the right time for me. The response right away was incredible. Now, the door is open, I have to continue to contribute (to the organization)."
"I think that today was a perfect day."
Sosa played 13 seasons with the Cubs and is the franchise record-holder with 545 home runs.
Sosa finished his big league career with a .273 batting average and 609 homers — currently ninth on the career list. He also had 1,667 RBIs and 234 stolen bases in 18 seasons from 1989 to 2007.
Because a lot of Sosa's success has been clouded by questions about performance-enhancing drug use throughout his career, he did not make the Hall of Fame on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot.
Sosa’s next chance for Hall of Fame consideration will be if he makes the ballot for the contemporary player committee.
Sosa and Lee will be recognized in the team’s Hall of Fame at a game this summer.
In a potentially precedent-setting confrontation, a college football player is transferring even though his former school declined to enter his name into the portal.
There are a lot of ways college football fans could describe Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.
He was a Heisman Trophy runner-up, Maxwell Award winner, Doak Walker Award winner and a unanimous All-American selection. But ahead of the NFL Draft, fans can also describe him as an underwear model.
Jeanty teamed up with SAXX last month to promote the men’s underwear line, which is said to be a comfortable undergarment for every part of the male body. He told Fox News Digital that he never imagined in his wildest dreams that he would be modeling underwear.
"I didn’t think so, but, you know, things just have a way of happening, and that’s just kind of how it did," he explained. "You know, good-looking guy, great running back, they want you to model some great underwear, so it just happened. I’m glad it did. It made kind of step outside my box."
Jeanty said it was Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby who selected him to become a part of the SAXX brand, and he said the partnership itself made sense to him.
"Just being a game-changing player on the field, you got to have some game-changing underwear to rock," he said. "I thought it was a perfect collab. Design, the comfortability, all that type of stuff, it’s been great partnering with them."
Jeanty ran for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns in his final season with Boise State, nearly eclipsing Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record.
Boise State won the Mountain West Conference title and earned a bye into the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. The Broncos lost to Penn State.
Jeanty declared for the NFL Draft earlier this month. He’s expected to be the top running back taken.
