This arena, housed in the heart of the Sullivan Athletic Center, is named in honor of two important Blue Demons: a legendary assistant men’s basketball coach and administrator who served for more than three decades at the university, as well as a nursing graduate who has been a generous benefactor to DePaul athletics. This arena offers three full-sized basketball courts, which gives DePaul student-athletes the competitive edge on and off the court. What is the full name of this arena?
