If you've been following the world of college basketball at all this season, you've undoubtedly heard the name "De Paul." The Blue Demons have been one of the biggest surprises in the country, currently sitting at 11-2 and ranked No. 21 in the AP Poll.
So, what's the secret to De Paul's success? It starts with head coach Tony Stubblefield, who is in his second season at the helm. Stubblefield has brought a new energy and excitement to the program, and his players have responded.
But it's not just Stubblefield. De Paul has a talented roster, led by junior guard Javon Freeman-Liberty. Freeman-Liberty is averaging 20.2 points per game, and he's one of the most dynamic players in the country. He can score from anywhere on the court, and he's also a gifted passer.
Freeman-Liberty isn't the only weapon in De Paul's arsenal. The Blue Demons also have a number of other talented players, including senior forward David Jones, junior guard Da'Sean Nelson, and sophomore guard Brandon Johnson.
De Paul's success has been a welcome surprise for fans of the Blue Demons. The team has been to the NCAA Tournament just once in the past 10 years, and they haven't won an NCAA Tournament game since 1985. But this year's team has a chance to change all of that.
The Blue Demons are still a young team, but they have a lot of talent and potential. If they can continue to play together and stay healthy, they have a chance to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. As a De Paul fan, I can't wait to see what the future holds for this team.
