MORAGA, Calif., Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Freshman Patrick Mills poured in 37 points Tuesday, paving the way for St. Mary College's shocking 99-87 win over the 11th-ranked Oregon Ducks.

The Gaels, 4-0 for the first time since 1993-94 when they were 5-0 to open the season, made 13 of 15 free throws down the stretch.

Kamyron Brown scored a team-high 20 points for the Ducks (4-1), who are tied with Michigan State for No. 11 in the USA Today/ESPN coaches poll. Maarty Leunen posted a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Tajuan Porter supplied 13 points and Malik Hairston had 12 points. Joevan Catron and LeKendric Longmire each donated 11 points in the loss.
