The DePaul Blue Demons, coming off an 8-24 record in the 2025-26 season, are looking to rebound as they prepare for the upcoming campaign. Significant roster changes include the loss of key players such as leading scorer Katie Novik and notable departures including Natiah Nelson and Ally Timm. The team managed only a first-round exit in the Big East tournament, falling to Providence.
