GAME NOTES
• St. Bonaventure scored a pair of big wins at home a week ago vs. Saint Joseph’s and VCU to even its A-10 record at 4-4. The Bonnies then put #21/19 Dayton on red alert on the road last Friday night, leading by seven in the second half and trailing by just three under a minute to play before falling, 76-71.
• Chad Venning has scored in double figures in all but one A-10 game (six points at Duquesne) and 10 of the last 11 contests overall.
• Friday’s loss at Dayton was a rarity for two reasons: It marked the first time this year that the Bonnies lost when making 10 3-pointers (10-1) and just the second time they’ve lost when leading at half (12-2).
• SBU enjoys one of the best home court advantages in college basketball. Since 2015-16, the Bonnies are 55-15 (.786) at home in Atlantic 10 games.
• The Bonnies now return to the Reilly Center where they are 8-2 this season. On home court this year, SBU is averaging nearly 81 ppg with a scoring margin of +15.
TRENDS & NOTABLES
• In 10 home games, the Bonnies are shooting nearly 49% overall and 37.5% from 3-point land. In 11 games away from home, the Bonnies average 67 ppg while shooting 42% overall and 34% from distance.
• Daryl Banks III scored 31 points in last year’s win over UMass at the Reilly Center on New Year’s Eve 2022. It is one of three 30-point games in his career, all of which have come inside The RC.
• Bona erased a 20-point first half deficit in storming back to beat VCU, 67-62, last Tuesday night. It marked the largest comeback for the Bonnies in over a decade.
• St. Bonaventure owns the second-highest NCAA NET ranking of any Atlantic 10 team entering this week at No. 69. Only Dayton (17) is higher. First-place Richmond stood at No. 74 on Feb. 5.
• The Bonnies look to even their A-10 record with a win on Wednesday. Last season, the Bonnies finished 8-10 in A-10 and had a losing conference mark for the first time since 2013-14. • February has been winning time during the Mark Schmidt Era at St. Bonaventure. The Bonnies are 45-19 during the month of February since 2016.
• Four of Bona’s five A-10 losses are by single digits. The lone exception came at Richmond when the Spiders hit a bucket in the final seconds for a 65-54 final. • Charles Pride enters this week ranking 23rd among all active Division I players in career rebounds with 875. Only two guards - Baylor Schierman (Creighton) and Christian Ray (Delaware) have more career rebounds than Pride.
• Kyrell Luc has started the last four games at point guard. Luc had 11 points, six assists and three steals in last March’s game at UMass, the last game he totaled double figures in.
• Pride has hauled in double-digit rebounds in back-to-back games after doing so just twice in his first 16 games this season. • The Bonnies rank Top 100 nationally in both offensive and defensive efficiency according to KenPom.com. In those rankings, the Bonnies rank 77th in defense and 85th in offense.
• Assa Essamvous had a career-best 22 points in last year’s win vs. UMass at The RC, his only career 20-point game thus far. He had a career-high nine field goals in that game.
• Chad Venning has at least one block in 23 straight games dating back to last year. He also has at least one swat in 32 of the last 33 contests. He had a career-high six blocks Jan. 17 vs. Rhode Island, the most by a Bonnies player since Osun Osunniyi’s seven vs. Siena in November 2021.

GAME NOTES SERIES HISTORY The Bonnies and Minutemen will be meeting for the 76th time when they lock up Wednesday. St. Bonaventure has played just four schools more – Canisius (171 meetings), Niagara (161), Duquesne (130) and Saint Joseph’s (84). UMass holds a 42-33 series lead after dominating the early years, but the Bonnies have won 10 of the past 11 meetings and 14 of the last 17. The Minutemen snapped what was a 10-game Bonnies winning streak in the series last March, though, as UMass came away with a 71-61 win in last year’s regular season finale after Bona had scored a convincing 84-64 victory inside the Reilly Center in the 2023 A-10 opener. Bonaventure has won five in a row over UMass at home - the Minutemen last stole a victory inside The RC in February 2015.

ABOUT UMASS • The Minutemen have won three of their past four games to move to 5-4 in Atlantic 10 play thus far. UMass held on for a wild 66-65 victory at home over George Mason on Saturday afternoon when an ill-timed Patriots foul sent junior guard Rashool Diggins to the line for the game-winning free throw with .8 seconds to play. • UMass also won at Saint Louis (84-73) and home over George Washington (81-67) in their recent hot stretch with only a heartbreaking 78-77 loss at home to Saint Joseph’s in the middle. • Offense has been a huge strength for UMass as the Minutemen lead the Atlantic 10 in points per game at 80.6 ppg, a total that ranks 46th in the nation. They also lead the league in offensive rebounds with 11 per game, standing 11th nationally in that category. UMass also takes care of the ball: they stand 37th nationally and first in the A-10 in turnover margin at +3.1. • Senior forward Josh Cohen is one of the A-10’s leading scorers at nearly 17 points per game while his 55.8% field goal percentage is the best in the league. Fellow senior forward Matt Cross adds another threat inside at 15.5 ppg and 8.2 rebounds per contest while Diggins (12.8 ppg) and sophomore guard Keon Thompson (10.0 ppg) also average in double figures. Thompson is also second in the league in assist-to-turnover ratio.
ATHLETES OF THE WEEK The GoBonnies.com Student-Athletes of the Week presented by CPL for the week ending Feb. 4 are men’s track freshman Riley Dillon and women’s track sophomore Mia Winters. Dillon was part of three school records at the Youngstown State Mid-Major Invitational on Saturday. He gave the Bonnies a new school record in the 200 meters as he posted 23.82 to nip the previous high mark of 23.89 set by Christian Figueroa a week ago at RIT. The 4x400 relay team also clocked in another Bona's best: Dillon, Figueroa, Kieran Ryan and Alex Ryan set a time of 3:31.27 to go to the top of the school record book.

Dillon was part of a third record to close his incredible meet with the top SBU time in the 400 at 51.47. Figueroa also moves to second with his run of 51.92. Winters emphatically scored another school best mark in the 3000 meters for the women’s team. Winters, who surpassed her old school record by less than half a second last week, left no doubt this time around as she crossed the stripe in 10:37.07 to crush her own program-best time by over 17 seconds. She also finished second in the race among all collegiate team athletes behind only Kayla Schmidt of Canisius who had a winning time of 10:17.15. Kassandra Nolet finished first in the race running unattached at 10:12.97. St. Bonaventure returns to the Buckeye State Saturday at the Spire Institute Indoor Invitational in Geneva, Ohio.
