Saint Louis @ Saint Joseph's

Current Records: Saint Louis 8-5; Saint Joseph's 6-6

What to Know

The Saint Louis Billikens are 6-2 against the Saint Joseph's Hawks since February of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Saturday. Saint Louis and Saint Joseph's will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 1 p.m. ET at Michael J. Hagan '85 Arena. The Billikens won't have the home-court advantage, but they do enjoy a 7-point advantage in the spread.

It looks like Saint Louis must have gotten on Santa's naughty list since the squad didn't end up with the win they were expected to receive last Wednesday. It was close but no cigar for Saint Louis as they fell 69-67 to the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars. If the result catches you off guard, it should: Saint Louis was far and away the favorite. Despite the defeat, they got a solid performance out of guard Javonte Perkins, who shot 5-for-10 from downtown and finished with 23 points.

Meanwhile, the stars were brightly shining for the Hawks in an 83-66 victory over the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils last week. Saint Joseph's' success was spearheaded by the efforts of guard Cameron Brown, who shot 6-for-12 from beyond the arc and finished with 24 points, five dimes and five boards, and forward Kacper Klaczek, who had 21 points along with six rebounds.

Saint Joseph's' win lifted them to 6-6 while Saint Louis' loss dropped them down to 8-5. We'll see if Saint Joseph's can repeat their recent success or if Saint Louis bounces back and reverse their fortune.
