Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Bona @ UB tomorrow night. Looks like a good matchup for both teams. Is this a rivalry game given the proximity of the two schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarkLessWagMore Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Absolutely. Great game atmosphere as many Bona fans will be there. It’s always a sweet victory if we can beat them on their floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching on espn+, it sounded like they were definitely the home team, unlike previous years, where Bona had at least as loud of a crowd...........It's good for WNY hoops - and for both teams to have a built in rival with the way scheduling is going.

HopsGuy Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Grew up in Olean. Was a Bonnies fan even before the Bills. Greg Sanders was an assistant teacher at my elementary school. At the St. John’s Festa Italiana years ago, I was talking with our now OHS football coach (we played baseball together) & a lady walked up. We were talking about the middle school teachers that were still there when we attended. We reminisced a bit then she said good bye, walked away & Phil said, “You know who that is? That’s Mark Schmidt’s wife!” Love the Bonnies & always will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Nice winning the first conference game of the year over GW. Osun makes all the difference. Player of the Game: Osun Osunniyi, St. Bonaventure. The Charles E. Smith Center was an inhospitable environment until Osunniyi became a Bonnie. He followed up last year’s 18-point outing in DC with a career-high 20 points on perfect shooting from the field. The sophomore made all eight of his field goal attempts, added four free throws, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked five shots. He answered a foul-plagued night at Buffalo on Monday by committing just three fouls in 36 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarkLessWagMore Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Osun is a game changer for sure. One of the more impactful players I can remember and he is just a Soph. Umass' freshman center was having his way with us while Osun was on the bench with foul trouble last night. Once O re-entered the game he shut him down and we won handily. This team is fun to watch. This Saturday against VCU could be very interesting if Osun can stay on the court. I believe we can win if so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could of won those games they would of been 15-2, 4-0 in conference & sitting pretty strong for an at large,. I wouldn't count their at large bid dead yet but it is going take beating Dayton & probably VCU once with no other bad losses to get in. The bubble should be pretty soft this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good resume building win especially on the road. I love the optimism. I actually saw a game in the armory once, and I am a Saint Bona Alum (76), so I will not be accused of being a jump on the bandwagon type of fan. The SNUB, from a few years back just haunts me. We are a good young (improving) team, but I am sorry there is no way the NCAA picks us with losses to Canisius and Siena (Ohio, Vermont and UB are good teams) I know how I sound, I'm hoping that we can go 12 - 4 the rest of the way (tourney included) Dayton is a beast and I figure a few more road losses. That makes us possibly 24 - 9 , in a good mid-major conference and we would not have a prayer of being picked. The middle of the pack "Power Five" finishers would go first. I hope that I am wrong, but either way the future appears to be good for many years ahead. Go Bonas ! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Osun never got hurt, then we'd be talking. But, I do think it's like last year - get that double bye, and hope somebody knocks out Dayton, and we've got a chance. The snub still haunts me, too. Plus last year, dominating SLU and then having to come back to even have a chance and missing the three pointer.................Should have been 4 Dances in 8 years! The next two years, though. We're playing all underclassmen - watch out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
