ª - BIG EAST Tournament game
$ = played in Chicago, Ill.
Scouting DePaul (11-10, 4-6 BIG EAST)
The Blue Demons enter Wednesday's matchup amid a three-game losing streak. DePaul had its scheduled contest with Seton Hall Saturday postponed as the Blue Demons were battling injuries and failed to field a team of at least seven scholarship athletes.
DePaul shot season-lows 26.3% (20-76) from the field, 50% from the free throw line (4-8) and a third-worst mark of 21.2% on a season high 33 attempts from three in their last game against Connecticut on Jan. 23.
Handling the ball has been a recurring issue for DePaul as the Blue Demons have ceded double-digit turnovers in 19 of 21 games (14.4 per game), including each of their last 12.
Sophomore forward Aneesah Morrow headlines the Blue Demon offense, averaging a double-double of 25.0 ppg, 11.9 rpg. Morrow has scored 20+ in 17 of 21 games and 30+ four times, the last time being 33 against Creighton in their New Year's Eve contest.
Scouting Creighton (14-6, 8-4 BIG EAST)
The Bluejays have won their last two games and five of their last six as they attempt to work their way back into the top-25 and build a resume for an at-large bid in March.
Creighton holds a 10-2 record against unranked opponents, winning each of their last five.
Guard Lauren Jensen leads the Bluejays front court with 16.2 points per game, having scored double-digit points in 19 of 20 games. The junior's 20 point performance at Georgetown Saturday was her fifth game with 20+ this season, including 21 against DePaul in their first matchup.
Creighton grabbed 40+ rebounds in consecutive for the second time this season, their first games with 40+ boards since the New Year's Eve matchup at DePaul.

Keys To the Game on Wednesday, February 1
- Slowing Morrow: In three games against the Bluejays Aneesah Morrow is averaging 31.7 ppg and 13.3 rpg. In the battle earlier this season in Chicago she was 14-for-36 from the field. Morrow will get her points, but making her work and off the free throw line is critical.
- Ball Security: Creighton committed 10 turnovers in the fourth quarter in its win at Georgetown. DePaul thrives when the Blue Demons can cause live ball turnovers.
- Rebounding: The Bluejays are 11-2 when they win the battle of the boards.
