ST. LOUIS – Gibson Jimerson scored 21 points and broke Erwin Claggett's Saint Louis career record for 3-point field goals, but first-place Richmond defeated the Billikens 80-64 Wednesday night in an Atlantic 10 Conference game at Chaifetz Arena.
 
Jimerson, who was 4-of-6 from beyond the arc, has 297 treys in his SLU career. Claggett held the previous mark of 295.
 
Jimerson also passed Scott Highmark for fifth place on the Bills' career points list. He has 1,708 points in a Saint Louis uniform.
