What to Know

The Saint Joseph's Hawks and the Loyola Chicago Ramblers are set to square off in an Atlantic 10 matchup at 12:30 p.m. ET Jan. 14 at Michael J. Hagan '85 Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The Hawks received a tough blow on Wednesday as they fell 92-80 to the Duquesne Dukes. Guard Christian Winborne wasn't much of a difference maker for Saint Joseph's; Winborne finished with ten points on 4-for-11 shooting in his 26 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Loyola Chicago ended up a good deal behind the VCU Rams when they played on Tuesday, losing 78-64. Loyola Chicago's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of forward Tom Welch, who had 16 points in addition to five rebounds, and guard Braden Norris, who had 14 points.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Saint Joseph's is expected to win a tight contest Saturday. Now might not be the best time to take Saint Joseph's against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past three consecutive games.

The losses bumped both teams down to an identical 6-10. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Hawks have only been able to knock down 41.40% percent of their shots, which is the 26th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. The Ramblers have experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 45.50% from the floor on average, which is the 47th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
