2 // Saint Louis' .643 shooting percentage Wednesday against La Salle was the top mark in an A-10 game in school history. In the last two games, the Billikens are shooting a combined 60.6 percent (63-104) from the field.
 
3 // Jordan Nesbitt is coming off consecutive double-digit scoring games with 18 at St. Bonaventure and 16 against La Salle. He is shooting 66.7 percent (8-12) from 3-point range in the two games.
