St. Bonaventure 61
Richmond 78
It’s difficult to succeed without your best all-around player. To make matters worse, the Bonnies were playing a 1-3-1 zone so effectively, it seemed as if they had six men on the court. READ MORE.
From the Bona perspective: A game-time decision coming in, Jaylen Adams sat out Wednesday night’s game against Richmond, still bothered by the sprained right ankle he suffered against George Mason on Saturday in the Reilly Center. READ MORE.

Dayton 55
UMass 67
As the final 20 seconds came off the clock, the Mullins Center crowd came to its feet in ovation. UMass freshman DeJon Jarreau smiled, taking a moment to look around as he raised his arms, almost conducting the applause that filled the building. READ MORE.
From the UD perspective: Archie Miller knelt on a white towel by the bench throughout the second half Wednesday, using it as a cushion for one knee as he watched his Dayton Flyers fall apart.
