Saint Louis (15-6, 7-1) at Fordham (17-4, 5-3) – 7:00 PM ET (ESPN+)
We close out the month of January with a trip to historic Rose Hill Gym where the Fordham Rams will host the Saint Louis Billikens. Fordham looked like their carriage was turning into a pumpkin when they started conference play with 3 losses in their last 4 games, but a 3-game roadtrip saw 3 straight victories for the Rams, including a win against upstate foe St. Bonaventure. In their last game, Khalid Moore had 30 points in Fordham’s 85-70 win against George Washington.
The lights for Saint Louis were flickering on and off during their early season; they had wins against Memphis and Providence but also had a surprising home loss to SIU-Edwardsville in late December. The Billikens would start A-10 play with a 1-1 road trip that included a loss at UMass, but they have since won 6 straight games to take over sole possession of first place in the conference. In their 74-70 win against Davidson last Friday night, Javon Pickett had 14 points off the bench for Saint Louis.
