Byron Mulkey Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hey guys. Congrats on the win. Not many teams can come into the Reilly Center and leave with a convincing win. You guys made Bona work for every bucket. The refs were whistle happy early which prevented any flow and zapped the energy out of the building. I have a lot of respect for your program. That drubbing of Arizona last year was unbelievable. Clearly, Oats has kept the momentum going. Your success is great for the community. Basketball is an afterthought in this area. That needs to change. Keep climbing the rankings and opening eyes. Syracuse and Marquette are beatable. Good luck the rest of the way. See you next year! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocChiTown Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Pretty ugly game by Bona getting torched for 90 at home. A lot of Bona fans are losing their minds, but I don’t think it’ll end up being a terrible loss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't have that happen at home if you are SBU. That team has serious flaws. They don't score well enough to compete with the best teams and there are stretches that Lofton is their only player. They are going to have some rough A10 games While I agree partially, I don’t think the A10, save maybe five teams max, is good enough to make Bonnies fans worry about being not being a top 4 team. Richmond, SLU, Dayton, VCU and maybe URI are the top teams in the A10 along with Bona and all have serious flaws themselves. Still think SBU can go 12-6 or 13-5 in A10 play. Bona won’t run into another shooter like Green in A10 play. SBU always lays a dude when students are on break, and I think they need some humbling after the Charleston Classic. While it was a good accomplishment and nice PR for the school, they were favored in every matchup, and it is still just a tournament in November.

They are going to have some rough A10 games St. Bonaventure is a very good team and should win the Atlantic 10 but do have some legitimate concerns. Like Buffalo, they have a short bench and can be stagnant at times. They’ve already have two double-digit comebacks against Canisius and Clemson. They get off to slow starts far too often. They should be a tournament team no matter what but it’ll be interesting to see what they do against UConn and Virginia Tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBlearns Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Bona will be fine even after the loss. They're an elite defensive team who had an off-night against a team (namely one player) that was absolutely unconscious from 3. They won't run into another team again this year who will shoot 50% from 3 against them. UNI was well-coached - moved the ball well, had a big who can shoot 3s to stretch the floor, didn't turn the ball over, always made the extra pass. The thin bench is a concern, but as we see with teams like UB, Ohio, etc., that's not terribly uncommon right now. The A-10 is comparatively weak this year compared to previous seasons, and Bona should lose no more than like 4 games in conference. You never know, but I'd be surprised if they didn't somewhat roll through the conference this season. Say what you will about early Kenpom rankings, but the 2nd-ranked team in the A-10 is only #73 (Richmond). Bonnies are likely far and away the best team in the A-10 this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very interested to see how Mballa v. Osunniyi round two goes. Two years ago at Alumni Arena, Mballa seemed to have his way with OO and got the Bona big man to foul out pretty early in the game.

That’s not the whole picture. #73 Richmond #80 Rhode Island #81 Davidson #91 Saint Louis #94 VCU Any time you have a top-100 team half way through OOC you have a contender for NCAA /NIT. Those are all solid teams. There are enough games remaining to raise your standing 30 spots. There is also #107 Dayton who is coming off wins over Miami FL, Kansas, and Belmont. I am not convinced they are far and away the beat team in the A10. They are going to have losses for sure. I wouldn’t be shocked if the A10 is a three bid league.

I'll be shocked if Bona loses less than five games in conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
