DEPAUL BLUE DEMONS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

BIG EAST ConferenceD1winter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Jill Pizzotti is navigating DePaul's women's basketball program through a challenging 2024-25 season, with the Blue Demons holding a 6-21 record while competing in the Big East Conference. Scoring 63.0 points per game while conceding 73.6, DePaul struggles with a 2-10 conference mark and a troubling 0-12 record in away contests. Located in Chicago with an enrollment of 21,348 students at the Wintrust Arena, the program competes within one of college basketball's elite conferences despite the current on-court difficulties.

Home court provides modest refuge, where DePaul has managed a 6-9 record compared to its winless road performance. Pizzotti commands a roster of 15 players tasked with the demanding schedule of Big East play, a conference that traditionally demands defensive versatility and high-volume scoring capabilities. The near 11-point scoring differential between what DePaul produces and allows represents a substantial gap in both offensive efficiency and defensive execution across the 27 games played to date.

Founded in 1898, DePaul University fields its women's basketball program from one of Chicago's most recognizable urban campuses, where Wintrust Arena serves as the team's home venue in the nation's third-largest metropolitan area.
