The Saint Louis Billikens have risen to the top of the Atlantic 10 conference at 18-9 and 10-4 in conference play, and they’re only behind one team and it’s a team from Richmond, VA.

Tonight, they play the other team from Richmond, the Spiders who are 13-14 (6-8 in A-10 play). Richmond won a game in the tournament last year after stealing a bid by winning the A-10 tourney to make it to the big dance.
That’s its only path this year, but I don’t think it’s in the cards as the Spiders are under .500.
Despite its poor record, Richmond is still a favorite at home against Saint Louis tonight.
