Game Notes SLU | UMass | Atlantic 10

Saint Louis hits the road to take on the UMass Minutemen on Tuesday night. Game time is 6 p.m. (CT).
 
The game will be produced and televised on NESN in New England. It will also be picked up on FOX Sports Midwest Plus and streamed on ESPN+. Jay Burnham and Frank Sullivan will call the action. The radio broadcast will be carried on 106.5 FM The Arch. As always, Billiken Hall of Famers Bob Ramsey and Earl Austin Jr. will be on the radio call.

Saint Louis is 18-7 overall and enters the week tied for sixth in the A-10 standings with a 7-5 mark. UMass is 10-15 overall and 4-8 in league play.
 
This is the second time this season that the Billikens and Minutemen have met. On Jan. 5 at Chaifetz Arena, SLU slipped past UMass 83-80 in overtime.
 
Here are five additional facts in advance of Saturday's game against La Salle:
 
1 // Travis Ford, who coached at UMass from 2005-08, is making his second trip back to the Mullins Center since being named SLU's head coach in 2016.
 
2 // Also returning to Mullins Center is SLU's graduate student manager Chris Lowe, who is in his second year on Ford's staff. Lowe, Ford's first recruit at UMass, played four years for the Minutemen and went on to score more than 1,000 points in his career and graduated as the program's all-time assists leader.
 
3 // Jordan Goodwin and Hasahn French are first and second in the A-10 with 11 and 10 double-doubles, respectively. They are the only teammates in the NCAA averaging a double-double.
 
4 // Javonte Perkins leads the Billikens and is fifth in the A-10 in scoring in conference games only, averaging 17.1 ppg in SLU's 12 league contests.
 
5 // The Billikens return to Chaifetz Arena on Friday night when they host VCU in an 8 p.m. tipoff. All fans are encouraged to wear blue for the Billiken Blue Out. Tickets are still available and can be purchased here.
