GW's 17-3 is better than ours. Were at best the 4th best A-10 team.

ummm bonnies aren't middle of the pack, but thanks for trying, lol.

They're not top 5. So what are they then?

Hey, if its any consolation, Ohio State (#24) is about to lose to 10-10 Penn State. AT HOME.

Most of the fouls I saw called were fouls. We had one guy play well tonight -- Trey Davis.

Worst game this team has played all season by a mile... St Bonaventure wanted every ball and got 95% of the "50/50" balls.

It has been said before but the defensive rebounding is beyond terrible. Even with as poorly as the offense played and having absolutely no offensive set or playbook, if they cut the offensive rebounds Bona had in HALF we win this game.

There is no excuse for getting smoked like that by an average Bonaventure team. NO EXCUSE.

This team needs to look at itself in the mirror and figure out who they are. Do they want to go to the tournament? Well they better start playing like it.

Otherwise they're going to be playing another home NIT game in front of a half-full crowd - NOT-including this guy. Truly embarrassed by that effort they put out that game and I hope the players are too.

This team can't beat a decent team if they don't grab rebounds. They are not a good defensive rebounding team and it killed them.

Does anyone realize this happens on the road? Kentucky lost to lsu on the road.. Duke lost to Clemson on the road.. Villanova lost a game by 40... Friggin relax... It's one damn game with terrible officiating in a hostile environment

just a shameful, shameful performance...top to bottom (except for Trey)

Simply aren't going to make the tournament if we continue to play like this,,, heck we will be in trouble to be in the top half of the league if we keep this up.

They have lost 4 of their last 5 games. St. Bonnie is a weak team.

But Umass is an overrated team.

This is Saint Bonaventure... not LSU or Clemson.

And its how they are playing, not the ultimate outcome of the game that is so discouraging

We are who we thought we were in the first place. We're not a top 25 team and only a few of us really thought we were before the season. We are a top 50 team. For most of us, our goal was just to make the tournament, and that's still very much in reach.

C'mon, the Bonnies already lost 4 conference games

Ebbs and flows. Glad I didn't watch this one, although I hear the A-10 Digital Network was awful. Killed at the FT line, killed on the glass, that'll usually do it.

So if we lose to the average Bonnies on the road, should we expect to lose the rest of the road games, except maybe URI and Duquesne? And also lose to SLU at home?
