THE BASICS
--Big performances by Sadie Stipanovich, Jackie Kemph and Denisha Womack powered Saint Louis to a 75-58 victory over Bradley Wednesday night at Chaifetz Arena.
--The Billikens improved to 10-3, tying the best 13-game start in program history and notching a 10th nonconference victory for the second time ever. Bradley slipped to 4-7.
