DePaul clinched the C-USA title, squashing Memphis in Memphis.

The Blue Demons missed their first six shots but ended up shooting 60.3%, including 12-18 from downtown. Their only conference loss came Jan. 9 at Marquette; the rematch in Chicago comes this Saturday.

DePaul's first C-USA title in nine years will also be its last; next year DePaul, along with Marquette, Louisville, Cinncinnatti, and USF, joins the Big East. TCU decamps for the Mountain West. Will next year's replacements lower the bar?
