DePaul and Creighton will face off in a Big East battle at 9 p.m. ET at Wintrust Arena. The Blue Demons are out to stop a nine-game streak of losses at home.

DePaul was expected to have a tough go of it on Wednesday, and that's exactly how things played out. They ended up on the wrong side of a painful 88-59 walloping at the Connecticut Huskies' hands. The losing side was boosted by center Nick Ongenda, who had 17 points in addition to six boards.

Creighton got double-digit scores from five players: guard Trey Alexander (25), center Ryan Kalkbrenner (16), forward Arthur Kaluma (13), guard Baylor Scheierman (13), and guard Ryan Nembhard (10).

Creighton's victory lifted them to 19-11 while DePaul's defeat dropped them down to an irreparable 9-21. In their win, the Bluejays relied heavily on Trey Alexander, who shot 7-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 25 points. the Blue Demons will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
