Charlie Moore and the Blue Demons finally got on the court on Wednesday.
No one knew quite what to expect from the DePaul Blue Demons when they took the court for their season opener against Western Illinois Wednesday night. That’s right. Their season opener. On December 23.
While every other team in the BIG EAST had long since kick-started their season - Seton Hall, St. John’s and Marquette had already played nine games while Creighton, Villanova and Xavier had eight games under their respective belts going into Wednesday - the Blue Demons were about to take the court for the first time in 287 days.
