It all comes down this! The 2012 Atlantic 10 tournament concludes with the championship game featuring a #1/#3 match up between the Dayton Flyers and St. Bonaventure Bonnies. Pickin’ Splinters could not be court side for the championship game, but that doesn’t mean we are not watching. Have a question? Just saw a play you have to talk about? Or do you just genuinely miss us?

#3 Dayton (22-8, 12-2) vs. #1 St. Bonaventure (28-2/13-1)
The Bonnies won the only meeting this year, 56-55 at the University of Dayton arena on February 11, 2012.
Both team’s shots are a little long right now?
Adrenalin? Nerves? Both?
From GoBonnies: Bonnies with six turnovers already. They lead the nation with only 11 per game. Dayton up, 11-2.
Yikes!
Holy crow! Bona just got to ride out this storm. UD is scoring every way possible.
Last time these teams met, Dayton led Bonnies early 19-4. A very similar start.
Bonnies won last time, definitely a lot of time left.
I think we are seeing the difference between a team who played in the championship game and a team who has never been in the championship game.
8 turnovers already ? Very un-Bonnie like.
What is UD’s FG% right now?
Wow!! These Flyers are flying!!
Dayton is shooting 41% from the field right now. Seems a lot higher.
I know tennis has “Unforced Error ” category, should basketball?
Bonnies have a lot of unforced errors right now.
Is it just me or has the substitution of Jordan McGee and Cece Dixon for the Bonnies matching Dayton’s athleticism?
Also seems to be settling the Bonnies.
Casey Nance on the bench with what looks like a back injury. That could make things very interesting. She was doing a great job on Van Tatenhove.
Just like that a five point game.
McBain is getting some good air time.
Can you say one-possession game?
Sounds like plenty have made the trip from Olean.
WOW!
Cue Davy Jones ’cause I’m a believer!
