Robbie Avila - College Basketball News & Rumors

End of outstanding career Avila finished Saturday's 95-72 loss to Michigan with nine points (3-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt), one rebound and five assists across 30 minutes.

Impact Avila will finish his collegiate career 10 points shy of the 2,000-point milestone after four seasons averaging double-digit scoring and 4-plus rebounds per contest. He may be remembered most for the rec specs and the nicknames, but Avila had also been a reliable fantasy producer in formats that featured him during two seasons at Indiana State and two more at Saint Louis.

Questionable Saturday Avila (undisclosed) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against George Mason.

Impact Avila is a late and potentially significant addition to the Saint Louis injury report. The senior had started each of the Billikens' last 30 games, averaging 13 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 26.3 minutes. Paul Otieno would likely get the start if Avila ultimately can't go.
