Despite Matt Ross' heroics, Chicago State fell 74-64 to DePaul on Wednesday night at Jones Convocation Center in Chicago.

Chicago State (2-8) got a second straight double-double from Ross, a former Dixon High School and Sauk Valley Community College standout, who finished with a career-high 20 points and 10 rebounds. Teammate Quinton Pippen tallied 14 points.

Brandon Young scored 21 points and DePaul rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit. DePaul (5-3), which trailed 44-30 at halftime, opened the second half on a 15-2 run to cut Chicago State's lead to 46-45 as the Blue Demons held the Cougars without a field goal over the first 8:16 of the second half.
