Jessica January and Amarah Coleman starred as DePaul clinched the no. 1 seed in next week’s Big East Tournament and a fourth consecutive regular season conference championship (2017 title shared with Creighton) in Sunday afternoon’s 79-70 win against the Georgetown Hoyas.
“We have a philosophy here that every game has a life of its own (and) every season has a life of its own,” head coach Doug Bruno said. “Next to winning the national championship, the hardest thing to do is win the regular season conference championship, because it’s a marathon and not a sprint.”
After trading baskets in the opening 30 seconds, the Blue Demons Coleman couldn’t miss if you paid her, and January was oozing with excellence in the early goings of Sunday’s senior day showdown.
