All-American forward Aneesah Morrow leads the Blue Demons with 26.9 points per game and 12.4 rebounds per game. Morrow has posted six double-doubles in her sophomore season to push her career total to 33. The Chicago native's season averages rank third and sixth in the nation, respectively.

Darrione Rogers is averaging a career-high 19 points per game through eight games which ranks fifth in the BIG EAST while dishing out six assists per game, good for 19th nationally.

Junior guard Kendall Holmes rounds out the Blue Demons in double-figures with 10.4 points per game while shooting 47 percent from long distance.

As a team, DePaul has won the rebounding battle in seven of eight games this season, averaging 44.9 rebounds per game including 17.6 on the offensive glass to rank ninth among Division I programs.

Four of Loyola's six losses have come by 10 points or less this season.
