Unsurprisingly, Northwestern's series against local Big East foe DePaul will continue into 2016. Jon Rothstein reported on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon that the Chicagoland schools will play each other at Welsh-Ryan Arena this December.
Northwestern will host DePaul on December 3rd, sources told @CBSSports. Part of annual series.

DePaul won't be a draw in terms of quality of play (the Blue Demons finished 184th in KenPom last season behind a 9-22 record), but it's hard to see many negatives about playing a local, power-conference team year after year.
