DEPAUL'S CURTIS WATKINS WAS THE BLUE DEMON'S TOP DEFENDER BUT HE WAS INJURED,MARK AUIRRE FELL ON HIS KNEE A GAME EARLIER SLOWING HIM DOWN,HAD HE(WATKINS)BEEN AT FULL STRENGTH THE GAME'S OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DEPAUL VS MICHIGAN STATE FINAL INSTEAD OF THE INDIANA FINAL WITH THE DEPAUL BLUE DEMONS BEATING MICHIGAN STATE EVEN WITH MAGIC JOHNSON AND GREG KELSER.

Indiana State had to beat another great team in DePaul to play Michigan State for the Title

depaul went down baby! when was this game, last spring or the year before? anyone know?

[earthshine2k]

nah, the team that lost to St. Joe's after the Skip Dillard last second free throw miss was better than this DePaul team. ISU, of course, never even came close again.

The first of many heartbreakers during Aguirre's years, but in truth they were not the favourite here. In later losses, they were. Great post - more please!

[Ariamaluum]

@sljense. There was a certain charm of those losses in the 80's by DePaul. Having a great record and losing in the first round.

[pannoni1]

Whitney Houston's brother, Gary Garland played for DePaul. I guess a perfect song to describe this loss is "Where Do Broken Hearts Go."

[thekerwin3]

.A heartbreaker for DePaul fans.

Is anyone out there that took the train to the game?

It was filled with Indiana and Michigan fans along with a handful of DePaul fans.

A wild time!
