In the last two practices leading up to DePaul men’s basketball’s Big East opener against Georgetown, head coach Dave Leitao noticed the urgency was off. He said he thought his team was too loose and didn’t seize the moment.

DePaul (6-7, 0-1) didn’t capitalize on its upset win over then-ranked No. 20 George Washington on Dec.
