CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Kent Williams scored 22, including four 3-pointers, and Jermaine Dearman added 20 Wednesday night as Southern Illinois rallied from a 10-point deficit for its 22nd straight win at home, the third-longest streak in program history.

The Salukis (13-4) forged their comeback by shooting 58 percent in the second half.

Bradley led by as much as 11 in the first half and was up 38-31 at halftime. The Braves were still up 50-43 with 14:39 left before the Salukis went on a 14-4 run to take their first lead since the game's first four minutes.

Bradley stayed close, tying it at 72 when James Gillingham completed a three-point play with a minute to go, but Darren Brooks hit three free throws late to clinch SIU's fourth straight win.

UP NEXT: Saturday at Wichita St., 2:05 p.m.
