DePaul falls to Seton Hall 73-72 Jan 2, 2013 12:00 AM
Give credit to sophomores Jamee Crockett and Charles McKinney and freshman Durrell McDonald for stepping up and helping pull DePaul out of a big hole Wednesday night at the Allstate Arena. But the Blue Demons typically soar or swoon with Cleveland Melvin, and their star junior forward was off his game again in the Big East opener against Seton Hall. Melvin was on the floor for 21 minutes in the Blue Demons' 73-72 loss to the Pirates, but the Big East's eighth-leading scorer was held to 6 points on 3-of-11 shooting.
Catholic conference offers challenge, opportunityDec 17, 2012 12:00 AM
As a chunk of the Big East transforms itself into a mostly or even all-Catholic basketball league, the conference faces a choice: play up or play down its faith-based roots?
