Even if not at its best, No. 7 Marquette has continued finding ways to win games.
Meanwhile, it's been nearly two years since DePaul won a regular-season Big East contest.
The visiting Golden Eagles will vie for a sixth consecutive victory and attempt to hand the Blue Demons their 39th straight league defeat on Tuesday night in Chicago.
Marquette (14-2, 5-0 Big East) remains the only undefeated team in Big East play but is shooting just 42.6 percent -- including 30.8 percent from 3-point range -- in those league contests. However, the Golden Eagles have remained stout defensively, allowing their Big East opponents to shoot 42.
