Gibson Jimerson hits nine 3s to break SLU record and put Billikens in four-way tie for third place

Guard scores 33 points and Avila adds 28 as Billikens beat Loyola by 31

Getting a reaction from Gibson Jimerson to any of his career accolades proved long ago to be an exercise requiring the acceptance of a humble response.

So on the occasion of Jimerson breaking Saint Louis University’s single-game record with nine 3-pointers in Saturday’s 98-67 romp over Loyola-Chicago, his reaction was par for the course.

“Any time you can make shots like that, you kind of get in a zone and block everything out and get on a roll,” he said. “That’s what happened to me. I had good looks and had all the confidence in the world.”
