Pivotal Round-Ups

The last time the DePaul Blue Demons won a conference regular season title was in 2004, Dave Leitao was the head-coach then in addition they went on to reach the second round of the NCAA Tournament.  That was the Blue Demon’s last NCAA trip.  Well, a decade later, Leitao has returned replacing Oliver Purnell.  Dave’s teams at DePaul during his three year stint recorded a 58-34 overall mark and 30-18 in Conference USA play.  Leitao will inherit a team that can potentially be at the top of Big East Conference next season and he seems to be a perfect fit for a squad that underachieved most of the 2014-15 campaign.  Leitao spent last season as an assistant at Tulsa after two seasons as an assistant at Missouri.
