But the Billikens closed the half on an 8-0 run, cutting the deficit to five after Dunlap knocked down a 3 from the corner with 2 seconds left to carry momentum into the locker room.
Saint Louis stayed hot to start the second half and Dunlap, a St. John's transfer, gave the Billikens the lead with 15 minutes left when he knocked down a 3 from the left wing.
The Billikens pushed the lead to double digits, getting the type of balanced inside-out scoring that has led to their hot streak.

Davidson trimmed the margin to seven behind five straight points from Friedrichsen, but never got any closer.
