What to Know

The Saint Louis Billikens and the La Salle Explorers will face off in an Atlantic 10 clash at 7 p.m. ET Feb. 8 at Tom Gola Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with La Salle winning the first 82-75 at home and the Billikens taking the second 78-57.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between Saint Louis and the Dayton Flyers this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Saint Louis wrapped it up with a 72-61 win at home. Saint Louis can attribute much of their success to forward Marten Linssen, who had 17 points, and guard Yuri Collins, who had 16 points and six assists along with eight rebounds.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, La Salle beat the George Mason Patriots 83-78 this past Saturday. The Explorers relied on the efforts of guard Jack Clark, who had 18 points in addition to five boards, and guard Jhamir Brickus, who had 18 points and five assists along with five boards.

The Billikens are the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

The wins brought Saint Louis up to 16-6 and La Salle to 7-13. Saint Louis is 10-5 after wins this year, La Salle 2-4.
