— The Nov. 5 start date is the earliest start to a season in school history, beating last year’s Nov. 6 season opener by one day.
— Junior forward Hasahn French enters the season needing just 11 blocked shots to become SLU’s all-time leader.
— SLU will give away a 55” television and 10 pairs of Apple AirPods to SLU students in attendance. SLU students must have a valid SLU ID, and will need to register at the marketing table at the top of the student section to be entered into the drawing.
— Prior to the game, the “2019 Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament Champions” and “2019 NCAA Tournament” banners will be revealed. They will hang in the Chaifetz Arena rafters above section 205, across the from the Billikens’ bench.
