Saints Be Praised

Well, now. Lookee here:

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Kevin Lisch scored 22 points to lead St. Louis past La Salle 81-74 on Saturday afternoon.

The Bilikens (12-8, 3-3 Atlantic 10) scored eight straight points to take the lead for good at the 6:54 mark. Luke Meyer assisted with 18 points and six rebounds for St. Louis.

Yves Mekonga Mbala led the Explorers (7-12, 2-4) with 18 points and four rebounds.

The game remained tied midway through the second half before St. Louis started to pull away. La Salle had taken a 60-58 edge thanks to a pair of 3-pointers by Darryl Partin, but the Bilikens slowly took over control to take their biggest lead of the game, 72-64 at 4:02.

St. Louis didn't hit a free throw until less than two minutes were left on the clock, but hit six more when they counted to hold on for the victory.

So that is 80+ points in regulation AND a road win all in a single game.

Who believes in miracles???
