This will be the 11th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 6-4 in their conference games this season.

Saint Louis is coming into this game winning 6 of their last 7 games but they are coming off of a loss at home against these same Bonnies in their last game. Saint Louis came into that game as around a 6 point favorite at home and they ended up losing the game by more than that. They will surely be out for their revenge here as they still kept that game close losing by 7 but they will play this game with a chip on their shoulder and make sure that they get that game back now that they have a 2nd chance against St. Bonaventure. St. Bonaventure has been good at home this season but they have struggled a little in their conference games and they will have a tough time here against a team that is going to be out for their revenge and has even played much better in their conference games than the Bonnies have. They have been a very inconsistent team recently, coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak but only winning 3 of their last 6 games. Saint Louis will be hungry for revenge here and they will bounce back in this game getting the win by around the same as they lost by.

“They outplayed us on both ends of the court. Not a whole lot to say. We got up 11 and they found another gear. That’s what a mature team does, and we didn’t respond. Their maturity really showed.” - Travis Ford on his team’s loss against St. Bonaventure.

 

 

“The zone slowed us down. Our agenda was to get the ball and run. We know Osunniyi down there is a good shot blocker. He did a good job blocking some of our shots. We’ve got to execute better. But credit to them for throwing that zone out, slowing us down and taking the lead.” - Yuri Collins on their loss against St. Bonaventure.
