The Marquette University men's basketball team (8-6, 4-4 BIG EAST) returns to action on Saturday, Jan. 23 at 5 p.m. when the squad hosts DePaul (2-5, 0-5 BIG EAST) at Fiserv Forum in BIG EAST Conference action.

Series With DePaul Dates Back To 1917-18

Marquette's all-time series with DePaul dates back to the 1917-18 season (second year of MU's varsity competition) and includes 127 previous meetings.

The Golden Eagles own a 79-48 advantage in the series and have claimed eight of the last 10 matchups, with the two teams splitting the home-and-home series in 2019-20. The extensive series history has been aided by the fact the two programs have been in the same league dating back to the 1991-92 campaign. Since that season, the teams have shared affiliation in the Great Midwest Conference, Conference USA and BIG EAST Conference.

In program history, Marquette has faced only rival Wisconsin (127) on as many occasions.

Elliott, Lewis Provide Lift In Latest Win

The Golden Eagles sent just eight players to the court in the win at St. John's on Jan. 16, but the small group of reserves was able to make a big impact on the outcome.

Guard Greg Elliott and forward Justin Lewis led the way, combining for 26 points, 11 rebounds and three assists off the bench. The duo shot 9-of-14 from the floor and Elliott knocked down a pair of treys en route to 13 points (one short of career high set at Creighton in league opener).

Lewis scored double figures in back-to-back games for the first time since the first two games of the season, averaging 12.0 points and 6.5 rebounds per outing in wins over Providence and St. John's.
