GAME NOTES
• St. Bonaventure returns home to the Reilly Center following back-to-back wins at VCU and at Richmond in the last week. Those wins marked the first true road victories of the season for the Bonnies, snapping a seven-game losing skid on the road. At home, the Bonnies are 9-2 this season. The Bonnies became the first A-10 team to win at VCU’s Siegel Center this season, dropping the Rams to 12-2 on their home floor before stealing another road win in Richmond’s Robins Center where the Spiders previously were 9-2.
• Freshman Yann Farell capped a stellar road trip with 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-5 from distance, at Richmond. He averaged 16.5 ppg in the two Virginia victories last week, shooting better than 63% overall (12-19) and 75% from deep (9-12). The three-time A-10 Rookie of the Week and Rookie of the Year contender leads all A-10 freshmen in rebounding this season (6.7 rpg) and is tied second among the league’s true freshmen in scoring at 9.0 ppg. He’s tied with GW’s Maximus Edwards for the most A-10 Rookie of the Week honors this season, though Edwards had a redshirt collegiate season at Kansas State last year.
• Redshirt junior Moses Flowers joined the starting lineup on the last road trip and averaged 12.5 ppg in those two games, including 15 points, all in the second half, at VCU. Flowers joining the starting five marked the first change for Bona’s starting lineup since Nov. 19, the fourth game of the season. Flowers is no stranger to starting duties, though, making 68 career starts in three seasons at Hartford.
• Daryl Banks III has scored in double figures in 18 of 23 games in a Bonnies uniform, but has back-to-back games of single-digit scoring efforts for the first time as a Bonnie. Though he’s in a bit of a shooting slump, going 1-for-13 from
the floor in the last two games, he’s made an impact in other ways: he had the goahead free throws late at VCU last Saturday and then also sank key free throws in the final minute to preserve the win at Richmond Wednesday. He also matched his career-best rebounding total with nine boards at Richmond, adding four assists.
• Bona knocked off VCU and Richmond on the road despite below average offensive showings from their top scorers this year in Banks and Kyrell Luc. Bona’s starting backcourt went just 4-28 from the floor combined in those two games for 25 total points, but the Bonnies found enough scoring from Yann Farell (16.5 ppg), Chad Venning (15.0 ppg) and Moses Flowers (12.5 ppg) to score two huge wins.
ABOUT DAYTON
• Dayton comes in to the Reilly Center this weekend winning two straight games, picking up an 85-81 overtime victory against Loyola Chicago on Tuesday. Currently, the Flyers hold a 15-8 overall record and a 7-3 record in conference, which puts them third in the A-10 standings behind VCU and Saint Louis.

DARYL BANKS III BRINGS BIG GAME EXPERIENCE TO BONNIES
By Scott Eddy, Assistant Athletic Director for Strategic Communications
Prior to mid-March 2022, Daryl Banks III figures most people didn’t know much about Saint Peter’s.
“A lot of people didn’t even know where Saint Peter’s is,” he says with a smirk. Now, everyone knows at least something about Saint Peter’s, thanks to the Peacocks and their once-in-a-lifetime Cinderella run in the NCAA Tournament. And, as a result, most people have heard Banks’ name as well.
“We joke about how when we get older they’ll probably make a documentary or something,” he said.
Whenever that Saint Peter’s team gets its own 30 for 30 style look back at a March Madness experience truly deserving of the moniker, knocking off Kentucky, Murray State and Purdue in perhaps the most unlikely Elite Eight run of all time, highlights of Banks will feature prominently.
The California-turned-Jersey native and former Saint Peter’s star, captured the attention of the nation with his 27-point effort in a thrilling overtime win vs. Kentucky as the 15th-seeded Peacocks broke brackets nationwide. He later
added 14 points in a Sweet 16 victory over Purdue.
“I got into a rhythm and wasn’t missing,” Banks remembers of that Kentucky stunner where he went 5-for-8 from beyond the arc.
“Once we started strong and the game was close, we just kept gaining confidence. When it got to overtime, we knew they (the Wildcats) messed up by letting it go to overtime. We knew we were a team that you shouldn’t let hang around.”
That performance helped set off a sequence resulting in Banks and his teammates capturing the hearts of the nation. Back home in New Jersey, the team became celebrities overnight.
“It was surreal; like something you dream of,” he said. “It was all so crazy. When we were back at school there was media and people everywhere, just lining the street.”
Banks, along with the majority of his Saint Peter’s teammates, hit the transfer portal in April, part of the changing landscape of college basketball which also resulted in his new St. Bonaventure squad having a completely different look this season.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
The GoBonnies.com Student-Athletes of the Week presented by CPL for the week ending Jan. 29 are men's swimming freshman Ben Giera and women's swimming senior Beth Thomas.
Giera set a new school record in the 1-meter dive with a score of 342.98, surpassing Zyad Morsy's score of 335.60 set last season at the A-10 Invitational.
The first-year diver delivered another win in the 3-meter dive with a total score of 338.63.
The men notched a final score of 181-119 to take down the Golden Knights Saturday afternoon.
Thomas earned three individual victories and a relay win to help the women secure a 195-103 victory over Gannon in their final home meet of the season.
The Staffordshire, England native kicked off Saturday afternoon as a member of the 200-medley relay with a time of 1:44.35 to pick up a victory.
She earned her first individual victory in the 100-breastroke, touching the wall in 1:05.54.
Thomas clocked in a time of 2:26.02 for her second individual triumph of the day, and capped off Saturday afternoon with a victory in the 200-IM with a time of 2:11.86.
The Bonnies will next travel to the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio to compete in the Atlantic 10 Championships. The four-day conference championship meet will begin Wednesday, Feb. 15 and conclude Saturday, Feb. 18.

BONNIES FEATURE
Born and raised in the Los Angeles area, Banks and his family moved back to the East Coast when he was 15, returning to the New York/New Jersey area that was native to his dad. He played at The Patrick School in Hillside, N.J., serving as a two-year team captain. Five of his AAU teammates would earn Division I scholarships and Banks would as well, staying close to home in Jersey.
He would play three seasons with Saint Peter’s. He made an immediate impact, setting the tone for what was to come by pouring in 25 points and drilling a buzzerbeater against perennial MAAC power Iona in his very first conference game. It would be his favorite game to remember – until last year’s Kentucky performance.
“I do whatever it takes to win. I like to get after it on the defensive end; I like to shoot threes and use my athleticism to play above the rim a little bit,” he said when describing his game. “But whatever it takes to win I’ll do.”
As things started to change at Saint Peter’s following head coach Shaheen Holloway’s departure to Seton Hall, Banks called on a previous recruiting relationship to find his next basketball home.
“We already knew our coach was leaving and then it was a matter of making the best decision for myself,” he said. “Coming out of high school, (Bonnies Associate Head Coach) Coach Curran recruited me a little bit and when he reached back out to me we had that familiarity.”
During his transfer experience, he kept returning to Bonaventure as the best fit.
From his time in New Jersey, Banks knew of former Bonnies point guard Kyle Lofton who spoke to him about his Bonaventure experience during Banks’ official visit to SBU. Those conversations helped to lock in his decision.
“The family environment that’s here, the connections this school has, it was a no-brainer for me to come here,” he said. “I had a list of schools, but I was leaning toward Bonaventure and when I came on my visit I just knew.”
One of the veteran-most members of this new-look Bonnies squad, he has been a leader on and off the court for the program this season. He ranks among the A-10’s leaders in scoring at nearly 16 points per game and has been at his best inside the Reilly Center where he averages 21 points per contest, including a career-high 34 vs. Bowling Green in November.
Banks surpassed 1,000 career points during the non-conference schedule and has scored in double figures in 18 of his first 23 games with the Bonnies. But he’s also been key in games where he isn’t lighting up the scoreboard, such as the most recent road trip where he drained the go-ahead free throws at VCU Jan. 28 and helped to preserve a win at Richmond Feb. 1 at the line inside the final minute, putting his biggame experience to good use.
“It’s just the experience. We’re a whole new team with a lot of younger guys,” he said. “Having the experience and being in those environments. I’ll be able to pass that down to teammates.”
