CHICAGO – DePaul defeated visiting Montevallo in the lone exhibition game of the preseason as the Blue Demons prepped for next week's opener against Coppin State. Tyon Grant-Foster scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds while Javon Freeman-Liberty recorded a double-double of 14 points and 12 boards.
 
The Blue Demons jumped to a 12-2 lead with makes on six of their first eight attempts that included three dunks by Nick Ongenda and another flush by Yor Anei. Following Anei's dunk, Grant-Foster went behind the arc to put DePaul ahead, 15-2, just over six minutes into the action.

Montevallo cut the deficit to five points with run that bridged halftime before back-to-back threes from Freeman-Liberty and Philmon Gebrewhit pushed the Blue Demon advantage back to double-figures.
 
David Jones knocked down two free throws with just over three minutes left in the game to give DePaul an 11-point lead at 65-54 before Montavello put together a late flurry to make the final score, 67-63, in favor of the Blue Demons.
 
Freeman-Liberty added four assists to his double-double while Ongenda tallied 13 points, five blocked shots and four rebounds. Jones added 11 points, five rebounds and three rejections off the bench.
