It’s been a rough start to conference play for the DePaul Blue Demons. DePaul has started conference 0-2 after back to back losses, dropping their record down to .500 at 7-7. They are now planted at the bottom of the Big East standings again. Granted they have played two formidable juggernauts in Villanova and Xavier, it’s the way they have lost those games which has been troubling.
In their first matchup, which was against Villanova, DePaul got absolutely waxed by the best team in the Big East, losing 103-85. It was bad. Their second game saw a much more positive result with them going up as much as 16 against Xavier.
