By CHUCKIE MAGGIO The St. Bonaventure men’s basketball team likes to score, a lot, to open Atlantic 10 play. No team has scored more points on average in their first league games than the Bonnies have since Davidson entered the league and gave the A-10 its current 14-team structure. Bona has recorded 477 points over […]
St. Bonaventure men’s basketball fans may have experienced an unpleasant flashback last week when the three letters “RPI” reappeared on their social feeds…
By CHUCKIE MAGGIO Most of the St. Bonaventure men’s basketball players shifted their focus from ball screens to baggage claim on Tuesday afternoon. Their rivalry game against the University at Buffalo canceled, and the search for a replacement game proving unsuccessful, the Bonnies traveled home for Christmas earlier than planned on Tuesday. The itinerary change […]
Jaren Holmes’s first 3-pointer of the season gave the Bonnies a 30-7 lead over Hofstra 11:21 into the contest. Dom Welch was outscoring the Pride by three points by himself, pushing Bona to a 26-2 run after Tareq Coburn’s 3-pointer made the score 5-4 just under three minutes in…
By CHUCKIE MAGGIO Less than 24 hours removed from their season-opening victory in Cleveland, Jaren Holmes and Kyle Lofton were back in the Reilly Center Wednesday- as floor cleaners.

Osunniyi, Welch and Lofton combined for 60 points, with the latter two scoring 18 and 17, respectively. The junior trio combined to sit just eight combined minutes despite Osunniyi and coach Mark Schmidt each judging the team as unconditioned after recently quarantining due to positive COVID-19 test results.
Bona, which withdrew from a planned four-game Thanksgiving weekend slate at Mohegan Sun’s Bubbleville due to positive tests among program personnel, is one of 23 Division I teams (excluding the Ivy League) that hasn’t played a game yet.
The Red Flash, No. 274 in Division I in scoring entering Friday’s action with just 63 points a game, lost firepower when senior guard Ramiir Dixon-Conover was injured during the UMBC game. Dixon-Conover led all scorers in the Pitt victory, tallying 21 on 5-of-9 field goal shooting and a 9-of-11 clip from the foul line. St. Francis has averaged just 16 foul line attempts as a team in his absence.
