Creighton vs DePaul   Results, Match Player Stats & Records

Losers of four in a row, the host Blue Demons try to avoid a 24th consecutive defeat to the Bluejays on Wednesday night in Big East action at Chicago.

League play hasn't been easy for DePaul (12-12, 4-9 Big East), which last defeated Seton Hall at home on Jan. 24. The Blue Demons have averaged only 63.8 points and shot 42.3% in the past four games, and they were outscored by a total of 30 points in their last two.

Providence shot 58.9% overall and went 9 of 21 from 3-point range during Saturday's 90-72 home win over DePaul.

"You've got to learn from every experience," DePaul coach Chris Holtmann told WGN Radio 720.

DePaul's CJ Gunn averages a team-leading 14.0 points, but has failed to score at least 10 in three of the last four contests. He posted nine in each of the last two on a combined 8-of-28 shooting.

Gunn averaged 13.0 points while the Blue Demons lost all three 2024-25 meetings with Creighton, which has won 28 of the last 29 matchups in this series. DePaul's most recent victory over the Bluejays came 70-60 at Omaha on Jan. 7, 2015.

Creighton (13-11, 7-6) should feel more confident after ending its own three-game losing streak with Saturday's 69-68 home win over Seton Hall. Nik Graves scored just seven points, but the final three came from his shot with 2.5 seconds left in regulation, securing the win.

"I think it can be a change in momentum for us," Graves said of the last-second victory. "Just coming together, being able to win in that fashion. Coming back, fighting hard, playing together. I think we can build off of that."

The Bluejays will now try to break a four-game losing streak on the road, where they have won 12 straight against DePaul dating back to a 72-57 loss on Nov. 30, 2005.

Creighton's Josh Dix averages a team-leading 11.8 points, and scored 16 on Saturday, just days after his mother passed away. He had totaled 13 points in the three games prior.
