Saint Joseph's has not been playing well in their recent games and they are coming into this game after losing 4 straight. They are coming off of a loss by double digits at home in their last game but their 3 losses prior to that were all by single digits and they have been keeping their games close recently. They have been awful on the road though with a 1-8 record this season and they have been struggling against conference opponents as well as they are 4-10 this season. They are going up against a Saint Louis side that has been much better against conference opponents this season with a 9-5 record and they are a solid 12-4 at home. They have not been playing well recently though and they have lost 3 of their last 4 games. They did win their last game at home though and they have won most of their conference games at home by double digits this season. Saint Louis should be able to bounce back here with a win at home but Saint Joseph's has not been getting blown out in games either and they should only lose by single digits here.

“Obviously, I’d love to be a contributor, but I can contribute in any way they need me to do, whether it is screaming stuff out on the bench for our guys on defense or pushing our guys in practice. I just love being a part of [the team.]” - Chris Arzin Jr. on being a part of this team and trying to contribute anyway he can.

 

 

“We were ready, and they didn’t do anything we didn’t think they were going to do. We weren’t in the right places at the right time. They made us pay for it. You’ve got to execute defensively, just like you’ve got to execute offensively.” - Travis Ford on his team’s loss against St. Bonaventure.
