Three Saint Louis Billikens received All-Conference honors from the Atlantic 10 Conference today.
Jordan Goodwin was named first-team All-Conference for the second straight year. He also was named to the All-Defensive team. Javonte Perkins earned second-team All-Conference honors after being named to the third team last season. Gibson Jimerson was named to the league’s All-Academic team.
Goodwin joins Dwayne Evans as the only other Billiken to snag A-10 first-team honors in back-to-back years. Goodwin is averaging a double-double of 14.5 ppg and 10.3 rpg. He has recorded a double-double in 14 of the Billikens’ 20 games. Those 14 double-doubles rank sixth in the NCAA. The 6-foot-3 Goodwin is among the top rebounding guards in NCAA history – his 992 career rebounds rank No. 3 among all active Division I players. Goodwin was also named to the A-10’s All-Defensive unit for the second straight year.
Perkins picked up from where he left off last season when he was scoring at an elite level. He leads the Billikens with 17.0 ppg and shoots 46.4 percent from the field, 38.7 percent from 3-point range and 86.4 percent from the stripe. Perkins has led the Billikens in scoring in 12 games this season, including a 32-point output in the Billikens’ win over LSU.
Jimerson, who maintains a GPA above 3.9 in the Chaifetz School of Business, averages 8.2 ppg and has drilled a team-leading 37 3-pointers. He shoots 43.9 percent from the field, 39.8 percent from 3-point range, and 83.3 percent from the stripe.
