QUICK PREVIEW
 
Saint Louis (12-6, 3-2 A-10) welcomes George Washington (6-11, 2-3 A-10) to Chaifetz Arena on Wednesday night for an Atlantic 10 Conference men's basketball matchup. Game time is 7 p.m.
 
SLU bounced back from a road loss at UMass with a 90-59 victory over the Minutemen on Sunday at Chaifetz Arena. Gibson Jimerson scored a career-high 31 points, and Jordan Nesbitt chipped in a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds.
 
George Washington's two A-10 victories have been impressive. The Colonials beat George Mason 77-76 in Washington D.C., and defeated Rhode Island 63-61 in Kingston in their last game. This will be the third straight road game for George Washington.

FIVE FACTS
 
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.
 
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).
 
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. (read more).
 
4 // This will mark the last time this season that the Billikens will have played back-to-back games on their home court. Moving forward, SLU alternates home and road games with a pair of two-game roadswings mixed in.
 
5 // Saint Louis leads the all-time series with the Colonials 11-9. George Washington has never won in St. Louis, with the Billikens holding an 8-0 lead in games played on their home court.
 
UP NEXT
 
The Billikens travel to Duquesne to face the Dukes in Pittsburgh on Saturday, Jan. 29. Game time is 1 p.m. (CT), and the game will streamed exclusively on ESPN+.
