Saint Louis Billikens rout Loyola Chicago 86-59, extending winning streak to 18 games Friday

Saint Louis stays unbeaten in Atlantic 10 play with another lopsided road win

CHICAGO — Saint Louis continued its surge through Atlantic 10 play on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, rolling past Loyola Chicago 86-59 at Gentile Arena to extend its winning streak to 18 games. The Billikens improved to 24-1 overall and 12-0 in conference, while Loyola Chicago fell to 6-20 and 2-11 in the A-10.

The victory also kept Saint Louis matched with the program’s best Atlantic 10 start on record, equaling the 2013-14 team’s 12-0 beginning in league play. With six conference games remaining, the Billikens held a two-game lead over Virginia Commonwealth in the A-10 standings entering the weekend.

Balanced scoring, decisive second-half separation

Saint Louis produced a balanced offensive night led by Trey Green and Ishan Sharma with 14 points apiece. Quentin Jones added 12 points and Amari McCottry scored 11, as the Billikens built separation through sustained efficiency rather than a single dominant individual performance.

The game remained competitive into the late stages of the first half, with Loyola Chicago closing within three points. Saint Louis then seized control with a 13-3 burst that bridged the end of the first half and the beginning of the second. Midway through the second half, the Billikens further widened the gap by converting 10 of 12 field-goal attempts in a stretch that effectively ended any realistic comeback path.

• Halftime: Saint Louis 39, Loyola Chicago 29
• Final: Saint Louis 86, Loyola Chicago 59
• Streak: Saint Louis won its 18th consecutive game

Loyola’s scoring led by Moore as losses continue to mount

For Loyola Chicago, Justin Moore scored 12 points and Daniil Glazkov posted a career-high 11. The loss continued a difficult season trend for the Ramblers, who have now been defeated by 20 points or more seven times.

Saint Louis’ run-making ability — turning a close first half into a runaway — proved decisive as the Billikens stacked multiple scoring bursts in the second half.

What’s next on the A-10 schedule

Saint Louis is scheduled to play at Rhode Island on Tuesday night, continuing a stretch of road-heavy conference play. Loyola Chicago next travels to Fordham on Wednesday night.

A key date ahead for Saint Louis comes on Feb. 20, when Virginia Commonwealth is set to visit. With the Billikens holding a two-game conference lead and a lengthy winning streak intact, that matchup looms as a significant test in the final month of the regular season.
