Demon Doings
The Blue Demons are 4-17 this season and 1-9 in BIG EAST action after dropping a 73-67 decision at Butler on Wednesday. Against the Bulldogs, DePaul fell behind after a quarter and couldn't claw back despite four players finishing in double-figures for the second-straight game. The Blue Demons were led by 12 points apiece from Michelle Ojo and Ally Timm while Alayna Wes and Kate Novik added 11 and 10 points, respectively.
As a team, DePaul handled the ball well committing a season-low nine turnovers while dishing out 18 assists. It was the free throw disparity that was the difference for Butler, who shot 25-for-29 from the charity stripe.
For the season, Kate Novik leads DePaul in a multitude of categories with 11.9 points , 6.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Ojo is averaging 13.6 points per game in DePaul's last three games while shooting 62-percent from the field in that span.
The Blue Demons rank second in the conference with 13.9 offensive rebounds per game and also force 19.0 turnovers per contest, the second-most in the BIG EAST.
Scouting Creighton
Creighton (8–11, 4–6 BIG EAST) comes off an 82–64 win over Xavier and features three players averaging double figures. Freshman Ava Zediker leads the way with 13.0 PPG, followed by Kennedy Townsend (11.9) and Neligh Gessert (11.7). The Bluejays rank first in the BIG EAST and top-10 nationally in three-pointers per game (9.7) and free-throw percentage (.789). Jim Flanery enters his 24th season as head coach.
Series Stuff
DePaul holds a 16–13 edge in the all-time series and will look to snap a seven-game skid against Creighton on Sunday. In their first meeting this season, the Blue Demons jumped out to a 20–10 lead after the opening quarter but eventually fell 70–50 in Omaha.
