Rundown of the action in Atlantic 10 men’s basketball.
St. Bonaventure 80 Duquesne 76
Jaylen Adams scored 18 of his game-high 24 points in the second half including a pair of pivotal 3-pointers as Bona rallied from eight down in the second half to win for the seventh time in the last eight games.
After failing to connect from behind the three-point arc in his first five attempts, Adams drilled back-to-back triples coming out of a timeout with 8:29 left in the game.
“He didn’t play great in the first half, but I thought he was always under control,” Bona head coach Mark Schmidt said. “He made shots when we needed to make shots. He’s been doing that all year.”
Duquesne coach Jim Ferry called the shots “daggers” as Adams capitalized when the Dukes were forced to changed defenses. READ MORE.
