Billikens (0-0, 0-0) blew past the University
of Missouri-St. Louis (0-0, 0-0) 84-50 at the Scottrade Center
(reported attendance, n/a). This classic Division I versus Division
II match-up was a mismatch from the start as the Billikens took
command of the court over the Riverman. Senior center Ian Vouyoukas
(10 pts), sophomore guard Tommie Liddell (10 pts), and sophomore
guard Kevin Lisch (9 pts) provided most of SLU's 43-20 halftime
lead. Coach Soderberg was able to provide many of his players
(including redshirt freshman forward Obi Ikeakor [9 pts, 4 rebounds])
with court time. The Billikens shot 47% from the field (36% from
3-pt range) and 67% from the charity line. The Riverman were
led by senior forward Brad Ledbetter (15 pts, 2 rebounds, 1 assist,
3 turnovers) and junior forward David Ward (11 pts, 9 rebounds,
4 turnovers). UMSL shot 29% from the field (29% from 3-pt range)
and 48% from the charity line. SLU had 43 rebounds (13O, 30D),
20 assists, 7 steals, 6 blocked shots, and 11 turnovers as compared
with 41 rebounds (15O, 26D), 10 assists, and 19 turnovers by
UMSL. |
