Here are five additional facts in advance of Saturday’s game vs. Kansas State:
1 // The Billikens lead the A-10 and are tied for 10th in the NCAA with 42.7 rpg. Their 14.7 offensive rebounds per game rank eighth nationally.
2 // Saint Louis remains the only team in NCAA Division I with two players averaging double-doubles – junior guard Jordan Goodwin averages 15.6 ppg and 11.5 rpg, while junior forward Hasahn French turns in 13.8 ppg and 10.5 rpg.
3 // Goodwin is the first Billiken in 30 years to register six consecutive double-doubles. Anthony Bonner in 1989-90 (twice) is the only other Billiken to do so. No Billiken has ever recorded seven straight double-doubles (dating back to 1985-86 season).
4 // For the first time in school history, the Billikens have two freshmen with 25-plus point games in the same season – Gibson Jimerson scored 25 against High Point, while Hargrove Jr. pumped in 27 against Maryville.
5 // Despite not being played on the Kansas State campus, the game will count as a home game for Kansas State and an away game for Saint Louis, as Kansas State controls the ticketing and game operations for Saturday’s game in Kansas City.
UP NEXT: The Billikens host Bethune-Cookman on Sunday, Dec. 29, at Chaifetz Arena. Game time is 6 p.m. on FOX Sports Midwest.
