Back to bench Thatch will return to a bench role Tuesday versus VCU.

Impact Thatch got a pair of starts in place of Yuri Collins (ankle), who sat out a pair of contests and returned to a bench role Saturday versus Dayton. Collins will start the contest, reducing Thatch to a bench role again. Still, Thatch has topped 20 minutes off the bench numerous times this season and has scored in double figures in two of his bench appearances, so there is some upside to his game.

Gets start Saturday Thatch is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Fordham, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Thatch gets the nod in place of the injured Yuri Collins (ankle), who will sit out the contest. The sophomore is making his first appearance in the starting unit this season, which could signify an incoming boost of playing time beyond the 15.2 minutes per game he's averaging to date.

Returns Saturday Thatch (knee) had two points (0-3 FG, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds across 16 minutes off the bench in Saturday's victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Impact Thatch was making progress towards a return this week, and he was ultimately tied for the most minutes of any Saint Louis reserve. It may not be wise to expect that type of playing time moving forward, however, as this was a 53-point victory for the Billikens. Thatch also saw just five minutes in the season opener. In any case, it appears the junior guard will be available moving forward, starting with Tuesday's scheduled matchup against Central Arkansas.

Hopes to join contact drills Thatch (knee) hopes to return to contact drills Thursday and potentially play Saturday against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Thatch has been working on the side over the past week, and he'll attempt to ramp up his activity Thursday. If all goes well during contact drills, he hopes to return to game action Saturday, although it's unclear whether he'll be able to do so. The junior played just five minutes in the Billikens' season opener before suffering an injury.

Says he'll be back soon Thatch (knee) tweeted Wednesday that he will be back in action soon.

Impact Thatch worked off to the side during Tuesday's practice session but doesn't appear to be dealing with a major issue overall. His next chance to suit up arrives Saturday versus Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Works on side Tuesday Thatch (knee) worked off to the side during Tuesday's practice session, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Thatch's inability to take part during Tuesday's practice doesn't bode particularly well for his chances of suiting up Saturday against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Still, he does have a few days to rejoin his teammates for a chance to make his return after playing five minutes in the opener.

Out for Saturday's game Thatch won't play in Saturday's game versus LSU, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Thatch is dealing with a sprained knee, and coach Travis Ford believes he'll miss a "week or so." His absence will affect the team's depth at shooting guard.

NOVEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injury in opener Coach Travis Ford was unwilling to detail the extent of Thatch's injury after he left Wednesday's opener versus SIU Edwardsville, Ahmad Hicks of KSDK News reports.

Impact Ford didn't seem to have much information regarding the extent of his injury following the contest and didn't want to speculate, so it's just a wait-and-see scenario for the junior guard at this point.
