DePauw projected to edge winless Anderson IN by four points

Versus projects DePauw to win this non-conference meeting 78-74, a four-point margin that gives the Tigers a 61 percent chance to come away victorious. That modest number says as much about DePauw's own stumbles as it does about Anderson IN's struggles.

DePauw sits at 1-1 but has fallen 39 spots since the preseason, from No. 37 to No. 76 in Division III, after a loss at Elmhurst sandwiched around a blowout win over Berea. Even so, the Tigers carry an A- overall grade built on an A- offense, and they have not finished a season below .500 since 2023. They also rank second in the NCAC.

Anderson IN has had a rougher start, dropping its first three games and sliding 99 spots from a preseason ranking of 105 to 204. A 58-point showing in a loss at Wabash was its lowest output since December 2022, and the Ravens arrive having lost three straight. They do carry an eight-game winning streak at home dating to January 2026, which gives them something to lean on against the drop in ranking.

The series is tied 2-2 since 2022, with DePauw taking the most recent meeting 86-78 last November. Versus still has DePauw 128 spots ahead of Anderson IN in the Division III ratings, even after the Tigers' own fall.
