About DePaul
Scouting DePaul (9-10, 4-2 BIG EAST)
After starting the season 3-7, the Blue Demons have won six of their last nine contests. Including four of six games in BIG EAST action. The Blue Demons, however, dropped their last contest at Villanova 66-55.
The tandem of Jorie Allen and Taylor Johnson-Matthews are averaging 18.9 ppg and 14.7 ppg respectively. Typically a high volume three-point shooting team, DePaul has just 100 treys in 19 games (5.3 per game).
DePaul also has historically been a high pressure team, the Blue Demons have forced 315 turnovers this season.
Scouting Creighton (14-3, 6-0 BIG EAST)
After starting the season 1-2, the Bluejays have won 13 of their last 14 games. The only loss coming in California against #1 UCLA.
Â
Senior Morgan Maly has taken over the scoring lead (18.1 ppg)for the first time this season. Last week she had 51 points in two contests and has averaged better than 20.2 ppg over the last seven games. Maly's running mate Lauren Jensen brings 17.4 ppg, while senior Molly Mogensen averages 8.4 ppg.
Maly Earns BIG EAST Player of the Week
After leading Creighton women's basketball to a 2-0 week with a combined 51 points, senior Morgan Maly collected the BIG EAST Player of the Week on Monday, January 13.
Maly guided Creighton to a 71-68 win over Marquette on January 8 with a dominant 28 points on 10-of-11 from the field. She connected on 8-of-9 from long range against the Golden Eagles. Three days later in New Jersey the script was largely the same as Maly delivered 23 points in the Bluejays' 72-64 road win at Seton Hall. Against the Pirates Maly shined in the biggest moment. Creighton led 64-62 with 2:29 remaining in the game, but Maly refused to allow her squad to fall. She connected on consecutive three pointers and closed the game with a pair from the charity stripe to ensure the Bluejays' win.
For the week Maly went 18-for-27 (.667) from the field, 12-for-17 (.706) from beyond the arc and led the Bluejays with 13 rebounds. This is Morgan's first BIG EAST Player of the Week nod, despite being a two-time BIG EAST First Team selection as well as the 2022 BIG EAST Sixth Woman of the Year.
Mogensen Approached Rare Air with Near Triple-Double
Battling Seton Hall on January 11, senior Molly Mogensen's performance could have been overlooked due to Morgan Maly's late game heroics. Morgensen, however, had arguably the best game of her season if not her career with 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists. She went 8-for-14 from the field (.571) and also grabbed one steal.
Maly Delivering Quantity and Quality
As Morgan Maly continues to ascend the Bluejay three-point list (seven away from the all-time mark), she is doing so at an unbelievably precise pace. Maly is shooting 48.4% from beyond the arc this season, a total that ranks fifth in the NCAA. She is 46-for -95 from long range in 2024-25.
Treys and Double Figures Becoming Automatic For Maly
Senior Morgan Maly has a streak of 26 consecutive games reaching
double-digits. The last time she didn't hit double figures was Feb. 10, 2024 vs. DePaul with three points.
Her streak of games with at least one three pointer is 37 straight games, dating back to Dec. 30, 2023 when she went 0-for-5 against St. John's. In her 134 games Morgan has hit at least one three-ball in 125 games.
