Saint Louis Billikens

The Billikens won all 19 of their home games in 2025-26 and covered 13 of the 18 with a spread. A unit on the Billikens in each of their 30 priced games still came to just 0.73, because almost every price was short.

Unbeaten at home

Saint Louis went 19-0 at home. Against the spread they were 13-5 there, 72.2%, and 18 Division I sides covered at home more often, with one level. On the moneyline the 17 priced home games made 1.33 units, a return held down by prices such as -20000 against Chicago State and -100000 against New Hampshire.

Eighteen straight

Between 2 December and 13 February the Billikens won 18 in a row, eleven of them by 20 points or more. They covered 12 of the 17 spreads in that run, and a unit on each of the 16 priced wins made 2.82.

The last month

From 17 February the record was 4-4 and the moneyline lost 3.31 units. All four defeats came away from home and as favorites: at Rhode Island 81-76 at -550, at Dayton 77-62, at George Mason 86-57 at -305, and against Dayton again, 70-69 in the Atlantic 10 semifinal at -218.

Almost never an underdog

Saint Louis were underdogs once, at VCU on 7 January, and won 71-62 at +114. Only three Division I teams were underdogs fewer times, and three others were underdogs just once too. Favored in the other 31 games, they won 26 and covered 18 of 31, and a unit on them as favorites lost 0.41.

Dayton

Dayton was the only opponent to beat Saint Louis twice: three meetings, a 102-71 home win on 30 January, then the two defeats, with a single cover across the three.

The total

Seventeen unders and 15 overs, while the Billikens scored 87.24 points a game; nine Division I teams scored more.

In the NCAA tournament they beat Georgia 102-77 and lost 95-72 to Michigan.
