· PK80 - VICTORY
69 - 82
Strus hits 6 3s, scores 21; DePaul beats Portland 82-69
Strus, who sat out last season after transferring from Division II Lewis, has scored in double figures each of his six games with DePaul (2-4). Maric, a graduate transfer who had 13 double-doubles last season for Northern Illinois, had his first for the Blue Demons.
Tre'Darius McCallum, who finished with 15 points, hit two 3-pointers to make it 6-0, Strus' third 3 in a 180-second span pushed the lead to 27-9 midway through the first half and DePaul led by double figures until Franklin Porter's 3-pointer pulled Portland within eight points with 10 minutes to go. Maric answered with a 3 and added a jumper about two minutes later before capping a 16-3 run with another trey that made it 80-60 with four minutes left.
Porter hit all of his four 3-point shots and led Portland (2-4) with 16 points. Marcus Shaver Jr. scored 15 and Josh McSwiggan added 14. The trio combined to make 11 of the Pilots 14 3-pointers.
DePaul, which came in with 20 made 3s this season, hit a season-high 12 against Portland. The Blue Demons scored 19 points off 14 Portland turnovers and scored 10 second-chance points off 15 offensive rebounds.
