French History Lessons
Editor: The following includes part of a press release from slubillikens.com.
(St. Louis, MO) –Saint Louis junior forward Hasahn French earned Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Week honors on Monday, the league announced.
French had a monstrous game in the Billikens’ win against Belmont. He scored 21 points, collected 24 rebounds, had seven blocked shots and dished out four assists.
French’s 24 boards tied the Atlantic 10 Conference record, tied the third-highest total in Saint Louis history and set a Chaifetz Arena record. His seven rejections tied for the second most in Billiken annals and equaled the Chaifetz Arena mark.
In addition, French registered the first 20-point, 20-rebound game by a Billiken since Anthony Bonner’s 45-point, 20-rebound performance vs. Loyola Chicago on March 1, 1990.
In the Billikens’ win against High Point earlier in the week, French posted nine points and nine rebounds while also registering two blocked shots. He became SLU’s all-time career leader in blocked shots, surpassing Ian Vouyoukas’ previous record of 135 blocks.
Highlighted in that game was a double spin move by the Billiken center.
Hasahn French with not one, but TWO spin moves and the basket! #Billikens

After the game I asked French about that move.
The Billikens (5-1) are back in action on Wednesday when they face Boston College at 1 p.m. (CT) in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. The game will be televised on ACC Network.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
