FIVE FACTS
 
1 // Yuri Collins continues to lead the NCAA in total assists (194) and assists per game (8.4). He is second in SLU history for assists in a single season. Additionally, Collins is 11th in the country in steals with 52, just two away from cracking the top 10 all time in a single season at SLU.
 
2 // Gibson Jimerson, who is averaging a team-best 17.2 ppg, pulled down a career-high eight rebounds in the Billikens' win Tuesday at La Salle.
 
3 // Fred Thatch Jr. recorded the first double-double of his career Tuesday at La Salle. The Billikens' current six-game winning streak has coincided with Thatch entering the starting lineup prior to the UMass home game.
 
4 // The Billikens are the lone A-10 team yet to drop a home game in league play (5-0 in A-10 home games this year). Dating back to last season, Saint Louis has won 10 straight A-10 games at Chaifetz Arena.
 
5 // The Billikens and Bonnies are meeting for the 28th time. St. Bonaventure leads the all-time series 14-13, but SLU has won three of the last four.
