Daily News | St. Joe’s drops its conference opener in 83-78 loss to Saint Louis
St. Louis might have won, but St. Joseph’s did not make this one easy for the Billikens.
“I thought our guys battled in a really impressive way,” St. Joe’s coach Billy Lange said. “As we continue to learn how to get better as the season progresses and unfolds, the whole league is going to be really good and have tough games.” Guard Gibson Jimerson led St. Louis with a game-high 22 points while guard Javon Pickett added 20 as the Billikens shot 52.5% from the floor and outrebounded the Hawks, 40-30. However, the Hawks held Yuri Collins, a 2021-22 All-Atlantic 10 first-team selection, scoreless in the first half and throughout much of the second half. Collins finished with just three points, making his only basket with a jumper at the 3:26 mark in the second half. He did, however, tally 14 assists and seven rebounds.
St. Joe’s closed out the half on a 5-0 run to bring its halftime deficit to just three points, 42-39.
