    The Bonnies: 2021-2022 Season Thread

    Is there any benefit to announcing a GW makeup now? In the (unlikely) scenario that we win out and both GW and Bona are locked into our seeds - jamming in an extra true road game against a team playing better than it's 225 NET is a disaster for Bona/A10. Especially since it'd have to be placed...

    Condensed February Continues: Bona Hosts UMASS Wednesday

    I may be overly reading into this, but there seemed to be a lot more intensity in the last minute than normal in a double digit game. I think Schmidt may finally be realizing how tied at large chances are to efficiency metrics. I legitimately think we should call timeout late rather than...

    Welcome Quadry Adams to SBU

    Our program is a pretty good example of recruiting rankings outside of the very best players being pretty meaningless, but going after highly regarded prospects that struggled to fit last year amidst the covid craziness seems to be a smart play to me.

    Bonnies vs. LSU- NCAA Tournament 1st Round (Saturday, 03/20/21 at 1:45 pm)

    Disappointing to go out like that, but we arrived a year early, picked up some hardware and an NCAA unit. Sets up nicely for an even more memorable season next year.

    Bonnies vs. LSU- NCAA Tournament 1st Round (Saturday, 03/20/21 at 1:45 pm)

    His wife Kari, who used to pen sections (likely actually written by Bill) in some of his columns under 'the Sports Gal', is a Bona grad. They were both on campus for some alumni event years ago I believe.

    Bonnies vs. LSU- NCAA Tournament 1st Round (Saturday, 03/20/21 at 1:45 pm)

    I've always found it odd how little Simmons has talked/written about Bonaventure given his connections to the school. The only mention I ever recall was a wink wink nod nod 'never trust anyone from Saint Bonaventure' comment before Nicholson was drafted.

    Bonnies vs. Dayton (Mon. 03/01/21 at 5:00 pm)

    I don't know what to make of last night's abomination. The A10's incompetence has nothing to do with Lofton taking a bewilderingly unnecessary technical, horrific shot selection, nonchalance on loose balls, or calling two timeouts in the final minute to get three long Jalen Adaway jump shots...

    The Bubble

    I don’t know why it surprises me year after year, but Michigan State’s ascendance (in today’s field on bracketmatrix at least going into today) is atrocious. Obviously, beating Ohio State and Illinois (goes without saying both at home) is great. Each are very good teams likely capable of...

    Bonnies vs. GW (Fri. 2/26/21 at 6:00 pm)

    A win, margin, and rest. Can’t ask for much more than that. Magic number is one.

    The Bubble

    The NCAA reclassifying the 5 games they played in Santa Cruz from home to neutral is probably the only reason they're still in the conversation. I have mixed feelings. It is 40 miles from campus and it wasn't their fault they couldn't play in their own building. At the same time, they probably...

    Yeah, Colorado's resume was extremely overrated, but dominating USC pretty much locks them in. Michigan State winning is just frustrating as they basically can't get hurt the rest of the year by losses and it seems like they'll get if they can finish win 15 wins - losses be damned. UCLA pretty...

    I'd also put Colorado on the high end and Drake/Wichita St/Richmond on the low end.

    The Bubble

    North Carolina shouldn't be in as of today. They've had five chances against solid NCAA tournament teams and lost them all. They're 3-1 against the bubble (wins @Duke, Louisville, Stanford. Loss @ GaTech), but Duke/GaTech are fringe bubble, Stanford's probably on the outside looking in, and the...

    The Bubble

    What a great night. In addition to the Davidson sweep: North Carolina loses to Marquette at home by double digits. Seton Hall continues to freefall and takes a loss at Butler by 9. Rutgers blows out Indiana. Xavier is down 10 to Providence at half. Even if they come back, our resume is...

    The Bonnies: 2020-2021 Season Thread

    I did this quickly, so keep that in mind, but... I believe, if Richmond and St Louis win tonight, Bona would win their first outright regular season A-10 title in program history with a 2-1 finish. (Until the next COVID schedule alteration at least.)

    Bonnies vs. Davidson (Sun. 02/21/21 at 3:30 pm)

    Enjoying every one of the 126.4 proof. Every Bonnie that touched the floor made a big time contribution to that win. Three more for a title please.

    The Bonnies: 2020-2021 Season Thread

    Inconceivably, given we’ve been road heavy so far and originally had home dates Richmond and Saint Louis scheduled, we get neither remade. All four of our makeup games have way more downside than upside. If we sweep Davidson, they’ll move down to @Q2/Q3. GW is a pure landmine and Dayton is a...

    The Bonnies: 2020-2021 Season Thread

    I don't buy this for a second. If they really wanted to be rational about maximizing bids they wouldn't have come up with a farcical system that objectively harms one of, if not both, the teams currently projected in the field on bracketmatrix and helps UMass most of all who has absolutely no...

    The Bonnies: 2020-2021 Season Thread

    The A10’s decisions today are some of the most asinine bush league nonsense I’ve ever heard in my life. Every time I think about it some other detail or theoretical possibility sets me off. 1) Nothing is balanced! Home and away splits are all messed up. Schedule strengths are not even close to...

    The Bonnies: 2020-2021 Season Thread

    That's probably as good as we could have hoped for. Defuses the road land mine a little as Mason beating us would move a road game to them up to the edge if not in Q2. Losing at Mason probably does us in either way, but it'd be less damaging than losing to GW and they're not of dramatically...
