CARBONDALE, ILL. (AP) -- Matt Shaw had 18 points to lead Southern Illinois to a 77-64 win over Bradley on Tuesday night.

Randal Falker added 14 points, Tyrone Green had 12 points and Wesley Clemmons and Carlton Fay each added 11 points for Southern Illinois, which shot a season-best 20-of-21 from the free-throw line.

Andrew Warren led the Braves with 18 points, 12 from the free-throw line.

Bradley's loss added to a six-game losing streak without senior point guard Daniel Ruffin. Ruffin is the nation's active leader in career assists. He's out indefinitely after surgery for a sports hernia.
