Quentin Richardson 1998-00 1,147 36. Andre Brown 2000-04 1,146 At the Stripe: Throughout his career, Billy Garrett Jr. has used the free throw line like few in program history. While working his way up the career lists for free throws, free throw attempts and free throw percentage, Garrett is the only player in school history with multiple no-miss games with at least 11 free throws. On just 12 occasions, a DePaul player has recorded an 11-for-11 effort or better from the charity stripe with Garrett holding four of those occurrences. No other player in school history has accomplished the feat more than once. Last season, Garrett went 12-for-12 at Georgetown on Jan. 9 and also has a 13-for-13 game and two games of 11-for-11. Mark Aguirre has the most free throws without a miss with an 18-for-18 effort against Illinois State on March 1, 1980.

In 1900, when the first athletic team to represent DePaul University was organized, the monogram D was selected for the uniforms. This originated the nickname D-men which evolved into Demons. The blue, which combines with Demons, signifies loyalty and was chosen in 1901 by a vote of the student body. DePaul Adds Two For Next Season: DePaul head coach Dave Leitao announced on Nov. 11 that Jaylen Butz and Justin Roberts will join the program starting in the 2017-18 season. The duo completed paperwork in the November signing period that runs from Nov. 9-16, 2016. Roberts, a 5-11 guard, is finishing his prep career at Findlay Prep and the Pilots are ranked No. 7 in the USA TODAY Super 25 preseason poll. Prior to Findlay Prep, Roberts starred at Pike High School in Indianapolis where he averaged 16.8 points, 3.7 assists and 2.2 steals per game as a junior. Rated as a four-start recruit by Scout.com and ESPN.com, he was selected to the Indiana Junior All-Star team and was a second team selection to the All-Central Indiana Super Team. Roberts played for Spiece Indy Heat on the AAU circuit and
averaged 11.9 points and 3.2 assists per game during play in the EYBL. Butz is also an Indiana native playing his senior year at North Side High School in Fort Wayne. The 6-9 forward was also a member of the Indiana Junior All-Star team a year ago after averaging 15.5 points, 11.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. Butz also played for Spiece Indy Heat and averaged 7.8 points and 5.4 rebounds on the EYBL circuit. Ranked as a three-star recruit by Scout.com and 247Sports, he averaged 9.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocked shots per game during his sophomore season at North Side. Waiting in the Wings: Butz and Roberts join transfers Austin Grandstaff and Max Strus as newcomers to the roster next season. Grandstaff and Strus are sitting out the 2016-17 season under NCAA transfer guidelines. Grandstaff, a 6-4 guard, was ranked among the nation s top 50 players coming out of high school before playing in 10 games at Ohio State as a freshman while Strus, a 6-6 guard, scored over 1,000 points in his two seasons at Lewis University while earning NCAA Division II All-American honors. Preseason Picks: Billy Garrett Jr. was selected to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Second Team as the league kicked off the 2016-17 season with media day at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 11. Defending conference champion Villanova was the unanimous pick to win the 2016-17 BIG EAST regular-season crown while the Blue Demons were slotted 10th in a vote by the league s head coaches. Garrett was also named to the preseason second team as a sophomore and junior after winning BIG EAST Rookie of the Year honors in 2014. The three-time BIG EAST All-Academic Team member enters his senior year ranked among DePaul s all-time leaders in free throw percentage, free throws, free throw attempts, assists, three-pointers and points. Xavier followed Villanova in the preseason poll with Creighton in third and Georgetown and Seton Hall tied for fourth. Butler was sixth following by Marquette, St. John s, Providence and DePaul. Villanova s Josh Hart was selected as the BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year while Shamorie Ponds from St. John s was named Preseason Freshman of the Year. Leitao Returns to Lincoln Park: Dave Leitao was named DePaul s head coach on March 29, 2015 and returns to Chicago following a very successful three-year stint with the Blue Demons from 2002-05. Leitao s three-year run saw three postseason appearances that included a 2004 Conference USA title and trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The New Bedford, Mass. native left DePaul following the 2004-05 season and accepted the head coach position at Virginia. With the Cavaliers, he made three postseason appearances in four seasons and was the 2007 ACC Coach of the Year. Leitao spent the three seasons working as an assistant coach under Frank Haith at Missouri and Tulsa before returning to DePaul.

The facility will be the home for DePaul basketball starting in the 2017-18 season. aa nine-member panel consisting of representatives from the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA), the city of Chicago and DePaul University selected the internationally renowned architectural firm Pelli Clarke Pelli to design the McCormick Place Events Center that will include DePaul men s and women s basketball as primary tenants. athe design concept features a sweeping curved roof above four transparent sides that will house DePaul men s and women s basketball along with a variety of civic, entertainment and convention events for Chicago and MPEA. The design endeavors to become a grand urban room, in the great Chicago tradition of buildings like the Auditorium Theatre and the Navy Pier Grand Ballroom. aa groundbreaking ceremony was held on Nov. 16, 2015 for the facility as the project was started in the fall along with the 40-story, 1,200-room Marriott Marquis hotel across the street. DePaul is expected to host 25-30 events annually in the facility including graduation ceremonies, which allow each school of the university to have its ceremony under the same roof. athe 10,000-seat events center is scheduled to open in the 2017-18 basketball season and will be located near McCormick Place on Cermak Road between Indiana and South Prairie Avenues. Not only will the facility serve as a home for men s and women s basketball that is close to the university s two primary campuses, it will create jobs, attract tourism and bring economic development to the planned McCormick Place entertainment district. athe location is situated just three L stops from DePaul s loop campus that caters to half of the DePaul student body. The Lincoln Park campus and the remaining half of DePaul s 25,000 students is 10 L stops from the future home of the Blue Demons. Additionally, the South Loop location is a seven-mile trip down Chicago s Lakeshore Drive that is flanked by the city s world-famous skyline and Lake Michigan. DePaul s 80,000 alumni in the Chicagoland area will have easy access to the events center by major highways.
