Jimerson led SLU with 20 points, hit 6 three pointers on 9 attempts, and sunk what turned out to be the game-winning shot after Kyle Lofton missed 2 free throws with …

Saint Louis Beats URI, 80-74, Key Takeaways and What Saturday Could Mean for SLU

A 14-point second half lead reduced to a deficit in a matter of minutes. Sadly, this is the story of the 2021-22 Saint Louis Billikens. Or at least it has been. Of their 10 losses, half have come in games in which the Bills held a double-digit lead. But instead of an 11th loss, SLU …
