DePaul has the second worse conference record in the Big East, but hasn’t played too bad in their last five games. In those five games, DePaul has two wins and three losses by a combined 12 points. Creighton has had more success this season and has also played well in their last few games. I like DePaul at home here in what should be an entertaining matchup.
