The game will be televised on ESPNU.
Saint Louis is 19-13 overall and is coming off an appearance in the Atlantic 10 Conference quarterfinals.
Arkansas State (24-10), a No. 3 seed in the NIT, defeated top-seeded South Alabama in the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Championship before falling in the championship final against Troy.
The Billikens hold a 10-1 all-time record against the Red Wolves, with the last meeting occurring in the 2011-12 season at Chaifetz Arena. A-State’s lone win in the series came in the only game played in Jonesboro back on Jan. 27, 1993.
The Billikens are making their 21st appearance in the NIT and first since 2022.
The winner of Tuesday’s game plays the winner of No. 2-seed North Texas and Furman. Those two teams square off Wednesday in Denton, Texas.
