St. Louis is led by 6’9” Bradley Ezewiro (17.5 ppg & 7.0 reb) who has only played the last few games for the Billikens after the NCAA deemed two time transfers eligible. 6’5” Gibson Jimerson (16.1 ppg and has 20 or more points in six games this year), 6’5” Terrence Hargrove Jr. (13.6 ppg& 6.4 reb), and 6’7” Tim Dalger (11.3 ppg) have also been productive for St. Louis. It is important to note that to Sincere Parker (17.3 ppg & 5.5 reb) broke his foot in the 4th game of the year against Wyoming and has been out since then. A return around the start of conference play was predicted but he did not play against Loyola Chicago.
6’2” Michael Meadows Jr. (6.4 ppg in 10 outings), 6’4” Larry Hughes II (5.0 ppg in 11 games), 5’11” Cian Medley (4.8 ppg), and 7’0” Bruce Zhang (3.2 ppg in 11 games) average double digit minutes off the bench.
St. Louis averages 74.0 points per game while giving up 75.5. The Billikens shoot 44.8 % from the floor and 37.7% from 3. Opponents are shooting 45.3% from the field and 32.9% from 3. The Billikens shoot 73.2% from the free throw line. The Billikens are currently being out rebounded by their opponents by 3.5 boards per game. They average 11.7 turnovers per game.
My prediction: They have good size, are 2nd in the A10 and 33rd in the nation in 3 point field goal percentage, and lead the A10 in made free throws per game. They have owned us going 9-1 in our last 10 meetings. Our last win was during the 17-18 season when we beat them at EBA. They absolutely kicked our asses last year in the A10 tourney, winning 82-54. It’s not going to be easy. Another trend is reversed as the Skinn magic continues, GMU 73 - St. Louis 72.
