When the Billikens enter Hulman Center, it will mark the first road game for the their six freshmen. It is their first time on the road other than a closed scrimmage at Memphis two weeks ago.

Remember we tell you freshman play much better at home than on the road, especially this early. The Billikens will play without injured Grandy Glaze. And guard Austin McBroom had a sore right hand and wrist as of Monday afternoon after being injured in the closing minutes against SIUC. Glaze is a steady senior who would give them much needed experience in their first road game.

McBroom and Achraf Yacoubou are the only decent scores the Billikens have, so they will not get many points. This is biggest home opponent since New Mexico two years ago, so there should be some good energy in the building.
