No. 18 DePaul routs Butler to advance in Big East tournament

The stakes for DePaul women’s basketball were clear as they begin its run for a third straight Big East title.

If they dominate this three-game stretch, there is a chance that they can secure a host-game for the NCAA tournament. It’s a mark the Blue Demons have never achieved, but would be extremely beneficial.

Just ask Butler — who found out again how lethal the Blue

Demons can be on their home floor.

The No. 18 Blue Demons (25-7, 16-2 Big East) routed Butler (10-21, 4-14) Sunday 76-49 in a packed house at McGrath-Phillips Arena.
