Stunner in Chicago
DePaul 91, Stanford 71. OK, I didn't see that one coming. I know Stanford was playing without injured star Kayla Pedersen but DePaul doesn't have the services of Deirdre Naughton.
Keisha Hampton, who for some reason has always flown a bit under the radar, had 27 points and Felicia Chester had 24 points (on 8 of 9 shooting), seven rebounds and four steals.
Jeanette Pohlen led Stanford with 23 points but was just 8 of 19 from the floor. More stunning was that the Ogwumike sisters combined for just 17 shots which is just not enough especially considering that they were 9 of 17 from the field.
DePaul shot nearly 60 percent from the field against normally a very solid defensive Stanford squad and if the Cardinal hadn't hauled down 16 offensive rebounds, this one could have really gotten ugly.
Add this one to Syracuse's win over Ohio State to give the Big East a couple of early feathers in their caps.

You neglected to mention Georgetown's defeat of Tennessee. Include that and UConn's defeat of #2 Baylor and we see that Big East teams have knocked off four top ten ranked basketball teams in just the first month of the season. I think that justifies the rankings of nearly half of the Big East in the Top 25 in both polls!
And consider that Rutgers gave Stanford a tough time as well...
