(0-0) began their 2003-2004 preseason with a 68-58 victory over
Athletes in Action
(2-1) at Savvis Center (observed attendance, small crowd). The
Billikens trailed 30-29 at the half but were able to get some
momentum behind the second-half play of sophomore guard Anthony
Drejaj (20). Drejaj, who only saw the court during the second
half, scored 14 points (two 3-pointers and 8-8 from the charity
line). Other Billikens contributed as follows: junior forward
Izik Ohanon (10 pts), senior forward Chris Sloan (13 pts, 14
rebounds), senior guard Josh Fisher (9 pts, 5 assists), and junior
guard Reggie Bryant (12 pts, 6 turnovers). Some may want to compare
Bryant to Marque Perry, but it is early in the season. AIA was
led by Shawn Redhage (14 pts), Donte Quinine (12 pts), Joe Crispin
(12 pts) and former Creighton guard Ryan Sears (9 pts). SLU bettered
the AIA on the boards 38-26. |
