After nine postponed games and two losses since Dec. 30, the Saint Louis Billikens seem to be heading in the right direction again.
SLU was picked second in the Atlantic 10 preseason poll an easy decision as the team was returning five starters who finished last season 23-8 overall and 12-6 in league play.

By then, they had done enough to finish the non-conference season with a 7-1 record and also earn the No. 23 spot in the AP Poll.
