Doug Bruno sat on the team bus following his team’s 61-54 win over Butler. The DePaul women’s basketball head coach already knew what he was going to do when he got to the hotel in Cincinnati.
“We’re going to enjoy the 90-minute ride over to Xavier, and then I’ll be watching the tape of the game,” Bruno said. “I’ll watch the tape of our game vs. Butler. I’ll watch Xavier’s game before I go to bed tonight. And then I’ll watch more Xavier. That’s just the way this works.”
Bruno’s approach is the philosophy that has worked for 30 seasons.
