How’s this for a scheduling quirk? On February 20, with just five games remaining in the Big East schedule, Creighton and DePaul meet for the first time — after completing the season series with six other schools. Dave Leitao’s team is quite a bit improved over a year ago, holding a 13-11 record (5-8 in the Big East, including a sweep of Seton Hall and a road win over St. John’s). With another league win, they’d equal their high water mark since the league relaunched in 2014 (they were 6-12 in 2015-16) but do so with significantly more momentum as that squad lost their last eight games.
