Historical Context

The DePaul and Georgetown women's basketball programs have been conference rivals since DePaul joined the original Big East Conference in 2005. The series history dates back to at least the 1992-1993 season. DePaul has historically dominated the matchup, holding a significant advantage in the all-time series wins. For example, entering the 2023-2024 season, DePaul had won 18 of the last 20 meetings between the two teams. This lopsided history frames each new game, with Georgetown often seeking to overturn a long-standing trend. Both programs have experienced different eras of success. DePaul, under Coach Doug Bruno, became a perennial NCAA Tournament team and won multiple Big East regular-season championships in the 2010s. Georgetown's women's program has had fewer sustained periods of high performance, with its last NCAA Tournament appearance coming in 2012 under then-coach Keith Brown. The historical context adds a layer of established hierarchy to their confrontations, influencing expectations for each game's outcome.
