Everything old is new again, and basketball season is finally almost upon us. We’ve given a game-by-game breakdown of Xavier’s non-conference slate and analyzed every player on the Muskies’ roster. All that’s left to do now is break down the nine other teams in the league, starting with the one the coaches predicted would finish bottom and running all the way up to Nova. First up are the DePaul Blue Demons (obviously).
For four of the five years Xavier has been in the Big East, DePaul has finished at the bottom of the league; they’ve also been the lowest-rated team in the KenPom in four of those same five years.
