ST. LOUIS, MO — Freshman Kwamain Mitchell had 16 points, helping Saint Louis’ youthful roster open its new on-campus arena with a shaky 48-33 victory over Missouri-St. Louis on Friday night.
Senior Tommie Liddell III had 12 points and eight rebounds for Saint Louis, which did not have an easy time putting away a cross-town Division II school that served as exhibition fodder last season. Coach Rick Majerus is 21-1 in season openers, losing only to Kentucky in 1995 when he was at Utah, but faces much stiffer competition in two home games next week against Kent State and Boston College.
Senior guard Kevin Lisch, who injured his tailbone early in Saint Louis’ lone exhibition last week, was in street clothes. Majerus started three of the seven freshmen he will dress — Mitchell, Kyle Cassity and Brian Conklin.
Jason Black scored all eight of his points in the first half for Missouri-St. Louis, 10-17 last season.

Wow, what a low scoring game. Reminds me of that game St. Louis had last year when they scored some abnormally low amount of points.

LOL 20 points in a game last year vs GW. Majerus patented that 4 out 1 in motion offense. He gets the job done though. St. Louis has a very young squad but Majerus is the type of Coach that can take them along way.
