#16 Villanova walked into the Allstate Arena last night prepared to walk all over the suffering Blue Demons.  DePaul was not expected to stay with the Wildcats, but opened up an 18-8 lead out of spite.  Villanova never got closer than 5 points after that, and suffice to say, their coach was not pleased.  Techinical foul awarded to the Pinstriped One as his team start the Big East season with a weak road loss.  Depaul’s senior guard Draelon Burns scored 20 points as the Demons led by as much as 16 points midway through the second.  His performance earns him a fashionable new set of cement shoes and some nice fresh fish on his visit to Philly next Wednesday.
