It’s strange to say the No. 18 team in the country needs an impressive showing and to win in its conference tournament to have success in the NCAA Tournament, but for DePaul, it’s true.
Coach Doug Bruno knows how important winning the Big East Tournament is and says his players are motivated to play for a “higher cause.”
“Yes, we want to win the Big East Tournament, but there’s another tournament out there that we’re trying to get into and make sure we get into and make sure that we have a position once we get into it to get our best advantage,” Bruno said.
