Dwayne Evans had another big game with 16 points and 17 rebounds and No. 16 Saint Louis clinched a share of the Atlantic 10 title with a 78-54 victory over La Salle on Saturday.

Kwamain Mitchell had 19 points and six assists on Senior Day for Saint Louis (24-6, 13-3 A-10), which won its first conference title since 1970-71 in the Missouri Valley. Rob Loe matched his career best with 20 points, hitting all seven shots and the Billikens shot 58 percent overall, one game after shooting a season-worst 30 percent in an overtime loss at Xavier.

Saint Louis has won 12 of 13 and can take the title outright if VCU loses at Temple on Sunday.
