The last time No. 10 Marquette women’s basketball (18-3, 9-0 BIG EAST) visited Chicago, Marquette lost by 35 to the DePaul Blue Demons (15-6, 6-3 BIG EAST) in the BIG EAST title last March. Now Marquette is looking to sweep its conference rival Sunday afternoon. Here are three things to watch:
DePaul’s home-court advantage
DePaul has had plenty of success at home against Marquette. The Blue Demons have gone 28-6 against the Golden Eagles when playing in Chicago.
“Everybody likes to be at home,” DePaul head coach Doug Bruno said. “(Marquette’s) playing way too well to think that because we’re home it’s going to be an easier or different type of game.
