Saint Louis’ Fan Forum
A win is a win is a win as URI squeaks by a lousy Fordham team thanks to Tyrese who stepped up without Cyril & a slightly banged up Dowtin. Now get the hell out of the Bronx ASAP & head home to take on the Billikens Sunday afternoon. Even with a healthy Cyril & Dowtin, URI needs to play better, especially on the defensive end, if they expect to beat Saint Louis. Fordham shot 45% from the field & 44% from 3 which is much better than their usual 37% & 31% respectively. Saint Louis has been playing well as of late with 3 double digit wins in their last 4 games. Over the last 5 games they have been shooting the ball at 52.2%. They are the only team in the A10 to make Dayton sweat it out. The Rams must contain Jordan Goodwin, who is their leading scorer & rebounder. Was very surprised to see he is averaging more boards than Hassan French. Once that shot goes up Rhody will need to put a body on him, especially when the Billikens have the ball since he is averaging over 3 offensive boards a game. Keep an eye on Javonte Perkins, who has been coming on as of late, averaging 21 points over his last 7 games. URi has won 11 of the last 13 contests, so they have that on their side. This is going to be a battle & assuming Cyril can play, I see Rhody coming out on top, 73-67. Go Rhody!!
