Here is a projection for next season in the Big East. The Big East was the top conference last year, and place 11 teams in the NCAA tournament.
DePaul, despite losing very little from last year's team is picked 16th and last again.

DePaul has to learn to crawl before they can walk. That said, they do need to show some improvement with maybe 4 or 5 conference wins. That would probably mean at least a couple of upsets over top 25 teams at home and 2 or 3 wins against teams from the bottom third of the league. That would at least give DePaul fans some hope for the future.
