In a game that made its losses to St. Bonaventure and Duquesne that much more inexplicable, St. Louis University dominated Atlantic 10 Conference favorite Xavier from start to finish in a 76-65 win on Saturday night at Scottrade Center.
The season that has gone from promising to doomed swung back to promising in front of 10,861 fans on an icy night. The Billikens re-established themselves as a team to watch in the Atlantic 10, though if they had beaten St. Bonaventure and Duquesne as expected, they would be sitting atop the league standing. Instead, they are in the middle of the A-10 pack with a 12-5 record, 2-2 in league play. But after an 0-2 start, 2-2 looks pretty darn good. Xavier fell to 12-5, 2-1, leaving Massachusetts as the only unbeaten team in the league.
It is even more impressive in that they got little offensive production from Ian Vouyoukas.
I refuse to get excited about this team. If they go one a five or six game win streak in the conference, then and only then, will I be impressed.
