CHICAGO, Ill. (November 12, 2018) --  Max Strus and Eli Cain combined to score 46 points and DePaul took control early to cruise to its second straight win to start the season, posting a 91-63 win over Morgan State on Monday night.

The senior pair were a combined 16 of 29 from the field, pacing a Blue Devils squad that shot 51.5 percent as a team (35 of 68), hitting 12 of 28 from behind the arc.

Morgan State got the first basket of the game, but the lead lasted less than a minute and DePaul needed just six minutes to push its own lead into double digits. Paul Reed's layup with 12:36 left made it 20-6 and by intermission it reached 19 points, 39-20.

Strus finished with 25 points and nine boards. Cain had 21 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

Senior guard Martez Cameron finished with 11 points for Morgan State (0-3), which has opened the season on the road with losses at #9 Villanova and St. Francis (Pa). Freshman guard guard Malik Miller added 10 points and senior Tyler Streeter chipped in 9.

Morgan State returns to action Thursday as they host the Lincoln-Pa. Lions. Start time at Hill Field House is scheduled for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast by WEAAA (88.9 FM).
