ST. LOUIS (AP) - Dwayne Evans had 21 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in perhaps his most complete effort of the season, helping No. 18 Saint Louis run its winning streak to 10 games with a 70-53 victory over Saint Joseph's on Wednesday night.
Rob Loe had 11 points and six rebounds and Mike McCall Jr. contributed 10 points, five assists and four rebounds for the balanced Billikens (22-5, 11-2 Atlantic 10), who held Saint Joseph's (15-11, 6-7) to a season-worst 32.7 percent shooting.

Ronald Roberts had a season-best 25 points with three dunks for Saint Joseph's, which has lost four of six.
