The No. 18 St. Louis Billikens got scoring from everywhere in a 70-53 win over the St. Joseph's Hawks on Wednesday night. The Billikens led by just two points at the intermission, but put away 41 points in the second frame for their 11th conference win on the season and to remain in first place in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
