DePaul should get the win in this match-up.

Red is weird. DePaul getting back doored a lot early on.

Blue Demons wearing red tonight. ????? DePaul up 8-4 early.

Is that normally their road color?

That's what I was wondering. I mean, aren't they the BLUE Demons?

Sonya Morrris for DePaul was a freshman on the Incarnate Word State Championship team on which Napheesa Collier was a senior. She has come a long way.

Wow, the officiating has been uneven this year. The last UConn game, there seemed to be whistles all the time for ticky-tack fouls and walks. Tonight, no walks in the UConn game, and they're allowing a lot of contact in this one.

Oops...maybe I spoke too soon. Depaul on a 13-0 run to take a 70-63 lead.

Is that normally their road color?

No. Maybe 2nd time they wore them?? I think is what the announcers said. Everyone seems to have alternate uniforms.

 

[JellyBean]

Holy smokes!! DePaul almost let this one get away from them. Glad they held on to get the win.

As usual DePaul is overrated. If you allow Creighton over 80 points, you have no concept of how to play defense. I wonder if they even practice it. And I know Bruno is a great friend of Auriemma's but I have good friends who wouldn't be able to teach defense either.

 

[Plebe]

Creighton is a rebuilding team that's a lot better than their record, and their gym is a difficult place to play; those who doubt this should ask all the so-called "power 5" coaches who have refused to play there. (The commendable exception is Nebraska, who just got dismantled by Creighton for the fifth consecutive year.)

As usual DePaul is overrated.

Not sure how this claim is consistent with the fact that DePaul just beat a team that's still (somehow) ranked ahead of them, and in a separate game played a top-10 team to a one-possession game.
