Robbie Avila missed practice today for SLU, the latest player to come down with whatever's been making the rounds of the team. Schertz optimistic that he'll be feeling better by Tuesday when SLU plays Davidson, but also making plans in case he isn't.

George Washington, playing without an injured Rafael Castro, falls to Fordham 79-65. Fourth place in the A-10 is going to be really up for grabs. Right now, it's St. Joseph's, which will be 6-3 assuming it doesn't play a 16-point lead over La Salle
