After the Thanksgiving holiday, St. Louis U. gets a bit of a breather when the Billikens host woeful Jackson State on Monday night.
Jackson State is among the nation's worst teams, according to KenPom rankings.
The Tigers have played a brutal schedule. Their first home game of the season comes Jan. 11, and their first game in which KenPom gives the Tigers a reasonable chance of winning is just a week before that.
All but one of the Tigers' losses have been by double figures and all have come against teams in roughly the top third of Division I basketball.
Against their three toughest opponents, Houston, Kentucky and Xavier, the Tigers lost by an average of nearly 47 points.
Monday's game is one of two SLU will play in a six-day span against teams in the bottom 10% of Division I's 364 squads. Chicago State visits on Dec. 8.
