The BIG Picture
The Blue Demons are coming off their second trip to the Sweet 16 in the last three seasons and are the perennial BIG EAST favorites following three consecutive years of at least a share of the regular-season crown. In three seasons since conference realignment, DePaul boasts a BIG EAST-best 83-24 (.776) record and has earned NCAA Tournament berths in 14 consecutive seasons. The Blue Demons take a hit with the graduations of BIG EAST Player of the Year Chanise Jenkins and 2015 BIG EAST Tournament Most Outstanding Player Megan Podkowa, but in true DePaul fashion there are plenty of experienced players prepared to fill their shoes and talented newcomers waiting in the wings.
