The Gavinski Award is a weekly award given to the team with the worst performance in college basketball over the past seven days. It is presented in honor of J.P. Gavinski, the most useless player in Division 1 basketball.
DePaul
The Blue Demons have long been buried at the bottom of the expanded Big East standings, but the early part of this year had offered a bit of hope. DePaul beat likely NCAA team Northern Iowa, and was competitive against good Tennessee and Vanderbilt teams. Unfortunately, the bad Blue Demons decided to show up for a potentially season-crushing 62-57 home loss to American, who now sits at 2-10 and ranked 340th in the latest RPI rankings. American's only other win this season is against MEAC bottom-feeder Howard. A loss this bad will be the proverbial turd in the punch bowl should DePaul post a decent Big East record and be in contention for the NCAA Tournament.
