The Saint Louis Billikens will travel and take on the Loyola Chicago Ramblers in Atlantic 10 play from the Gentile Center on CBSSN. The Saint Louis/Loyola matchup dates back to their time as rivals in the MWCC, and the Ramblers lead the all-time series, 24-22.
Saint Louis improved to 12-6 after beating George Washington in DC. The Billikens used a strong second half to defeat Colonials and cover the spread along the way. Saint Louis is scoring 76.6 points per game, while allowing 71.2 ppg, and shooting 45.4% from the field.
Saint Louis has ripped off three straight wins, and it looks like they’ve put a shaky non-conference slate behind them. SLU carries one of the more experienced teams in the conference, and they’re led by stud point guard Yuri Collins, who truly orchestrates the offense and has a string on the basketball. Collins leads the country in assists at 10.9 apg, but after missing the GWU game, his status should be monitored here. Gibson Jimerson leads SLU in scoring at 12.9 ppg after a 22-point outing versus St. Joe’s. Francis Okoro mans the middle and is one of the top rebounders in the A10 at 8.2 rpg. Senior guards Javonte Perkins (10.8 ppg) and Javon Pickett (11.4 ppg, 5.8 rpg) both went for season-highs in the win over GWU.
