Rank DePaul.
That’s been the rallying cry on Twitter this week, after the Blue Demons moved to 8-0 with a win over Minnesota on Black Friday. Despite the public demand for the Blue Demons in the AP Poll, the voters didn’t have them in the top 25, but DePaul managed to nab 18 votes.
The idea was that if the Blue Demons simply kept winning games, they would eventually crack the top 25, and could do a lot with a victory over Texas Tech Wednesday night in Chicago.
Despite Texas Tech not being what they were last season for a litany of reasons, Chris Beard’s bunch still signified DePaul’s toughest test of the year.
