St. Bonaventure, the 11th seed, will play sixth-seeded Richmond at 9 p.m. on Wednesday in the Atlantic 10 Tournament.
In their only meeting this season, in Richmond, the Bonnies emerged victorious. Let's go 2-for-2!

The Bonnies vs Richmond should be another great match up, but I have to go with the Brown and White Bonnies to advance to the next round. Richmond will be going home early!

Spiders knocked off #17 X by an 80-75 score. Were up by 12 with 6 mins to play. Anderson went for 29 points.
Richmond is a team we should handle on the boards if we play hard without fouling. Gonzalvez is always a threat from beyond the arc. The biggest disparity between the Bonnies & the Spiders is the turn overs which is our curse. They averaged only 11 per game in conference play to our worst in the league 17.
When we beat them a few weeks back, Greese had a huge game scoring 25 on 7-9 shooting & 11-14 from the line. Our inside game was the difference. Question is will he be playing in AC?

That is indeed the question, wgt.
The one thing I like about playing Richmond is that we pretty much know we'll be in the game. They never blow anybody out, and they never get blown out, so it should be a competitive game. Also love the 9 p.m. start time, giving many people the opportunity to come down for the game. I know I'll be traveling to AC from Olean.
Hopefully Richmond is physically and emotionally drained after the X game. From what it sounds like though, they shot the heck out of the ball against the Musketeers. We certainly don't need anymore of that on Wednesday...
