Atlantic 10 Basketball: Richmond, Saint Louis on top in opening weeksRichmond and Saint Louis lead the pack in the early goings of the 2020-21 season - but how are the other Atlantic 10 Basketball teams faring...
Returns SaturdayThatch (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.
ImpactThatch 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.

Stat stuffer in season debutFrench had 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two blocks Saturday against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
ImpactFrench played only 22 minutes in the lopsided contest, and the overmatched Golden Lions had no answer for his size. French's minutes will likely trend upward in the Billikens' next contest against Central Arkansas as they look to get his conditioning set before a battle with Minnesota.

Eight dimes against Golden LionsCollins had a season-high eight assists Saturday against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, finishing with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 FT) three steals, a block and two rebounds.
ImpactCollins is a challenging player to peg for fantasy purposes. On one hand, he has at least six assists in each of the Billikens first three games. On the other hand, this was as season-high in scoring, having put up only two points in his first two outings. The team simply doesn't need him to score, as they are loaded with other options. That's going to keep the assist totals steady, so his appeal may be as a streaming option for roto players to charge the dimes category up a week at a time.
