FIVE FACTS
 
1 // Three Billikens earned postseason All-Conference honors from the Atlantic 10 (read more). Yuri Collins was named first-team All-Conference and to the All-Defensive team. Gibson Jimerson was third-team All-Conference and repeated on the All-Academic squad. Fred Thatch Jr. joined Jimerson on the All-Academic team.
 
2 // Yuri Collins continues to lead the NCAA in total assists (260) and assists per game (7.9). His 6.6 career assist average ranks second among all active NCAA Division I players.
 
3 // Gibson Jimerson, SLU's leading scorer, has led the Billikens in scoring the last four games and is averaging 19.5 ppg in the Bills' two A-10 Championship games. He is just the third Billiken in school history to record 80 or more 3-pointers in a season.
 
4 // Francis Okoro is averaging a double-double of 15.5 ppg and 12.5 rpg in the two A-10 Championship games. This season, he is shooting 60 percent (141-235) from the field. Only three players in school history have shot 60 percent or better in a season (minimum 100 attempts).
 
5 // The Billikens and Wildcats are meeting for the second time this season. Davidson defeated the Bills 79-58 earlier this year in Davidson, North Carolina. This is the third time SLU and Davidson have met in A-10 Championship play, and in the previous two meetings, the winner went on to win the A-10 crown. SLU knocked off the Wildcats in the semifinals of the 2019 A-10 Championship, which SLU ended up winning by defeating St. Bonaventure in the final the next day. The Billikens and Wildcats also met in the quarterfinals of the 2018 A-10 Championship here in Washington, D.C., which Davidson ended up winning.
