The point total was a season low for Saint Mary's (7-1), which was last ranked in March 1989. Southern Illinois (4-3) ended a three-game losing streak that had knocked the Salukis from the Top 25. Saint Mary's, which trailed 36-24 at halftime, rallied within six points with 4 minutes remaining, but Mullins scored nine points down the stretch and the Salukis held on. Freshman guard Patrick Mills, Saint Mary's leading scorer with a 16.1 average, was held to 11 points. Freshman Brandon Wood was 3-for-4 from 3-point range to lead the Salukis' 6-for-13 effort from behind the arc. No. 16 Oregon 93, Sacramento St. 66 EUGENE, Ore.
