The 1-0 St. Bonaventure Bonnies
Following their victory over Akron on Tuesday, the Bonnies are 1-0 for the first time since the 2016-17 season. The Brown and White play host to Hofstra tomorrow at 2pm on ESPN+.
St. Bonaventure dominated Akron wire-to-wire in the season opener.
They also dominated Hofstra last year, winning by a score of 73-45.
In that game, Hofstra guards Tareq Coburn and Jaylen Ray combined for only six points while shooting an ugly two of 16 from the field. St. Bonaventure Coach Mark Schmidt knows that this Hofstra team will prove to be a tougher test this time around: “[This] game is not going to be like last year. We played extremely well, we shot the ball extremely well, it was just one of those games. But they bounced back pretty well and won the league… those kids know how to win.”
Through five games so far this season, Coburn, the former Bonnie, averages 20.6 PPG while Ray is second on the team averaging 16.4 PPG.
If not for the Covid-19 Pandemic, Hofstra...
