Fast breaks: The Greyhounds, idle since Dec. 22 and with a 1-3 road record, play five of their next six away from home. The Greyhounds climbed back to .500 with an 81-68 victory over winless American on Dec. 22. B. J. Pendleton (18.3 ppg) made 10 of 13 shots for a career-high 27 points. St. Joseph's won its first three games, including a 60-57 upset of then-No. 22 Villanova on Dec. 18. At that point, the Hawks had the nation's best scoring defense (49.0) and were best in the country in rebounding margin (18.0). But after a nine-day layoff, St. Joseph's finished last at the Cowboy Shootout tournament, getting upset by Mississippi State (76-66) and Monmouth (71-62). Carlin Warley, a fifth-year senior and two-time defending Atlantic 10 rebounding champion, could cause problems for Loyola inside with his physical style.
