The DePaul Blue Demons fell 92-71 in the second round of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament Sunday afternoon. The Seven seed Blue Demons came into the matchup against the second seeded Mississippi State Bulldogs.
The Blue Demons took a 5-0 lead against the Bulldogs on their home floor with a Jaqui Grant 3-pointer. Grant, the Big East defensive player of the year needed to deliver her usual consistent rim protection, rebounding, and outlet passing for the Blue Demons to upset the Bulldogs. But just under three minutes into the game, Grant picked up her second foul, forcing her to sit the rest of the quarter.
