Can Saint Louis Build on the Last Game?

Saint Louis faced off against a really good Rhode Island team in the last game, and they were able to pick up the victory. The offense scored 43 points in the second half to help pace them to a 15-point win. Robbie Avila is having a strong season, and he was a mismatch, putting up 22 points, six rebounds, and four assists. Guard Gibson Jimerson also put on a show, putting up 21 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists. Saint Louis had lost three games in a row before the last win, so getting back on the right track was a huge relief. 

Saint Louis has a 15-12 record overall, but they have only gone 3-7 away from home. The statistics don’t jump off the page, but the offense is good, averaging 73.7 points per game. As a team, they are shooting 47.14 percent, so the offense probably could be even a little better. Gibson Jimerson has been the top player, averaging 17.3 points while shooting 42.9 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Key Game for Davidson

Davidson is coming off a big victory in the last game, and they are looking to build on that here. Davidson faced off against Fordham, and they scored 80 points on the way to the 11-point victory. Bobby Durkin put up 20 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists. Four different players put up at least 10 points. That has been the name of the game this season for Davidson; they have used a balanced attack. Two games ago against Loyola, Davidson scored 69 points while the defense gave up 77 points, leading to the eight-point defeat. Reed Bailey had a huge game, putting up 19 points, 14 rebounds, and five assists in that game. 

Davidson has a 16-11 record overall, and they have gone 15-11 against the spread. At home, they have gone 10-4 straight up. Davidson wants to push the pace and they are averaging 74.2 points while their defense is giving up 70.5 points per game. Reed Bailey is averaging 19.7 points while shooting 50.8 percent from the field and 46.7 percent from behind the three-point line. Davidson will face VCU following this one.

Saint Louis vs Davidson Prediction

Saint Louis is coming off that key win, but before that game, they hadn’t played all that well, and I just don’t trust them here. Two games ago against Loyola Chicago, Saint Louis scored 69 points, but the defense gave up 78 points, and their defense is going to struggle again here. Davidson is averaging 74.2 points per game, and they will put on an offensive showcase here. The Davidson defense matchup is going to slow down Avila, and that is going to be the difference here. Saint Louis is 3-7 away from home, and it won’t get any better here. Back Davidson on the money line to cash.
