FIVE FACTS
Â
1 // Yuri Collins is on the verge of becoming SLU's all-time leader in career assists, needing just five more to break Josh Fisher's (2000-04) school record of 436.
Â
2 // Gibson Jimerson became the fifth Billiken to score 30+ points in a game at Chaifetz Arena when he poured in a career-high 31 points against UMass. The others are Tramaine Isabell Jr. (39 vs. Duquesne on 3/16/19),
Javonte Perkins (33 vs. LSU on 11/29/20), Kwamain Mitchell (33 vs. Kansas City on 12/22/09) and Javon Bess (31 vs. Richmond on 1/30/19).
Â
3 // The A-10 announced one addition and one change in the Billikens' upcoming schedule. SLU will travel to face St. Bonaventure on Monday, Feb. 14, in a makeup game. Because of that addition, the Bills will now face La Salle a day later than originally scheduled on Wednesday, Feb. 16, at Chaifetz Arena. (
