Saint Louis Billikens
Saint Louis has opened A-10 play with a strong 3-1 start, and they enter this on the heels of a defensive showcase against Fordham. The Billikens held to under 34% shooting, and picked up the 63-45 win.
Saint Louis scores a respectable 78.4 ppg, and Gibson Jimerson plays a big role in that. The redshirt freshman from Richmond has almost three years of experience, and he’s starting to come into his own this season. Jimerson scored 28 points in the win over George Washington, just days after scoring 21 points against UMass on the road.
Jimerson is averaging a team-leading 18.4 points per game.
Yuri Collins has also taken a big leap in year three. The home bred point guard is among the best in the country, and so are his assists number. After dishing out a career high 19 dimes in the win over Boston College, Collins nearly posted a triple-double against Auburn.
Collins scores 10.2 ppg, grabs 3.8 rpg, and leads the nation in assists (8.3).
Oregon transfer Franis Okoro has double-doubled in two of his last three games, and he leads the team in rebounding (7.6)
Duquense Dukes
Duquense has dropped their last two games after opening A-10 play with a victory over UMass. The Dukes hosted Dayton last weekend, and they ran into a wall, losing 72-52.
Leon Ayers III leads the team in scoring after coming over for Mercer this past summer. The 6’5 guard scored 23 or more points in wins over Bradley, American, and UC Irvine, and his play factor heavily into the Dukes success
Transfers Kevin Easley Jr. (TCU) and Tre Williams (Indiana State) start in the front court for the Dukes. Easley Jr. is a work horse who leads the team in minutes, while scoring 12.2 ppg and grabbing 6.5 rpg. Williams double-doubled in the loss to DePaul and he leads Duquense in rebounding (6.6).
Freshman guards Amir Spears and Jackie Johnson III have given the backcourt some more life. Spears has scored 20 points in back-to-back games, and he’s second on the team in scoring (12.3). Johnson III has started to receive more playing time, and he scored a career-high 27 points in the win over UMass.
