Let's start talking about it. Kenpom rates the Bonnies 123 and the Colonials 99, a big drop from where they were earlier in the season. Nevertheless, they are favored to win this game. Looking only at conference games played, they are 7th in 3-point shooting while our Bonnies are dead last. However, our lads tear it up in the paint: we get 59.3% of our scoring from 2-pointers, highest in the A10. Good as we are at drawing fouls, GW gets a higher percentage of their scoring at the line. With our thin bench, we can't get in foul trouble while battling their bigs. The Bonnies can beat any opponent on a day when we can get our shots to drop. Let's hope this is one of those days. Four conference games left before the team blows into Brooklyn. Go Bonnies!

This is a huge game regarding conference tourney seeding.
Need this W. GW is playing deflated in my opinion after coming into this season with such high expectations. lets get this win on the road and comeback to Olean with a possible three game win streak on the line Alumni Weekend.
NEED THIS W!!!!

Class70……You point out a real strength of GW in their ability to draw fouls & score from the stripe. We do get to the line a lot but GW has 322 FT attempts to just 268 for us. They are #1 tied with VCU in getting to the line but make them at a far better rate than VCU.
Would love to see us break our 7 road win record with a win over favored GW. Impressive that we are 4-3 on the road in A10 games.
Will GW’s 4 straight losses cause them to come in with a loss of confidence OR overly hungry for a win? If they have a quick start that will fix any confidence issues. Our win at St Joe’s was strange in so many ways.
Youssou not scoring a field goal, Alston taking 10 shots to Youssou’s 4, we score 22 pts in the 2nd half & then 18 in OT (only 2 buckets), our 7 footer lives on the line & makes 92% while the rest of the team hits just 56%. There are so many ways to win or loose. The biggest disparity between GW & Bona is the Turn Over Margin. We are #6 (+0.64) while GW is #14 (-3.21). BUT our advantage in the TO Margin is due to Jay at PG for most games.

Tale of the tape: Bona GW PPG 67.4 66.6 FG 42.0 43.5 FT 70.1 68.2 3PT 31.4 31.5
Looks like a dead even game. We are both poor shooting from 3 and shoot well from the stripe and inside. This has all the makings of a 62-61 type game unless someone goes bananas from 3.

I actually think Dion and Denzell are the x-factors in tonight's game. Dion needs toown his man both on offense and defense.

How can a team call a timeout without clear possession of the ball? I do not agree with the other thread's poster I think the officiating has been a lot to be desired this year.

Misses both FT and gets the rebound because we are too careless to boxout.

I don't mind if another team is just making their shots better than you, but no excuse for being outhustled!
