The DePaul Prep Rams fell to the Brother Rice Crusaders 46-40 Friday night (January 31, 2020) at DePaul. Basically, the Crusaders made the Rams play a half-court game. Then the Crusaders played defense and made their shots on the offensive end. Plus, the Rams just didn’t make shots they ordinarily do.
To open the second half, the Rams did what they wanted to do. They almost erased the 32-19 deficit with a 12-1 third quarter run.
The Rams lead with under two minutes. Crusaders never quit. Rams simply did not make shots to win at the end.
Rams rebounded to take down always dangerous Benet 45-30. I could not get to that game.
So . . .

Still the major goal to go—the Chicago Catholic League blue division championship.
Oh, ya, and then the IHSA 3A state championship run.
