The Saint Louis guard, touted as one of the country's best freshmen, scored his team's final nine points Friday to lead the 10th-seeded Billikens to a 51-46 victory over No. 7 seed Massachusetts in the first round of the South Regional.

It was a clunker of a game, but it was good enough to advance Saint Louis (22-10) to the second round against second-seeded Kentucky, an 82-67 winner over South Carolina State earlier in the day.
