St. Bona 68, Saint Joseph's 65 (Box Score - Pg. 2)up nEXt: vs. Fordham

Wednesday, February 10 at 7 p.m.

atAGlancESt. Bonaventure will hit the half way point of the Atlantic 10 regular season schedule on Saturday when it takes on Saint Joseph's at Michael J. Hagan Arena. The meeting is the second of the season between the two teams and marks the end of a five-day road trip for the Bonnies. The Brown and White's A-10 road woes continued on Wednesday night in a heartbreaking 67-65 loss at Saint Louis. It marked the second straight A-10 road game that St. Bonaventure has lost in the final seconds, as its four conference road games have been decided by a total of eight points. Both teams enter Saturday's contest on three-game losing streaks.

all-timESERIESAfter snapping a 15-game losing streak against Saint Joseph's with a come-from-behind 68-65 win on Jan. 16 at the Reilly Center, St. Bonaventure will now look for its first sweep of the Hawks since the 2000 season. The Bonnies have dropped eight straight games in Philadelphia against the Hawks and are just 1-21 all-time against SJU in Philly. Oddly enough, their last win in the series prior to this season came at Hawk Hill on Feb. 26, 2000 - the year they swept the season series. St. Bonaventure and Saint Jo-seph's have met twice a year in 24 out of the 27 years they've been together as members of the Eastern 8 and A-10. One of the two schools has swept the season series eight straight times, including the last six by SJU.

thisDAyinBONABaskEtBallSt. Bonaventure is 1-8 all-time when playing on February 6, dating back to the 1975-76 season in the Bona record books - the final season that has actual dates recorded. The lone win on this date came in 1999 when the Bonnies overcame a 15-point halftime deficit for a 77-67 win over Dayton. J.R. BRemeR scored a game-high 20 points to lead five players in double figures.

scoutinG thE hawksLed by legendary head coach Phil Martelli, Saint Joseph's stands at 8-12 on the season, including 2-6 in A-10 play. The Hawks posted a three-game winning streak after leaving the Reilly Center on Jan. 16, but have followed with three consecutive A-10 defeats. Despite dropping its last two games at Michael J. Hagan Arena, Saint Joseph's is 6-4 this season at its newly renovated home. Saint Joseph's biggest downfall has been on the defensive end where they are allowing a league-worst 75.4 points per game and getting out-rebounded by a -8.4 per game clip. The Hawks have allowed their opponents to score 76.3 points per game over their recent three-game skid after giving up just 60 points per contest during their three-game win streak. The senior backcourt of Darrin Govens and Garrett Williams lead the Hawks in scoring at 13.0 and 11.0 points per game, respectively. A three-point special-ist, Govens is tied for fifth in the A-10 at 2.1 trifectas per game. Williamson, an A-10 All-Defensive team selection in 2009, leads the team in steals (36) and blocks (24), while producing the best offensive numbers of his career.

citY oF not so BrothErlY lovEPhiladelphia hasn't lived up to its nickname as the city of "Broth-erly Love" in the case of St. Bonaventure. The Bonnies have dropped 16 straight games in Philadelphia during regular season against their trio of Atlantic 10 foes and are just 5-54 all-time in Philly. St. Bonaventure's last win in Philadelphia came at La Salle on Jan. 10, 2002 in a 68-62 win at Tom Gola Arena.

phillY connEctionsSaturday's game will be a homecoming for several current Bon-nies that reign from the city of "Brotherly Love." Juniors lewis leonaRd and malcolm eleBy are both Philadelphia na-tives, while assistant coach dino PResley grew up in South Philadelphia. Eleby excelled over a pair of games in his hometown last season, averaging 14 points, five rebounds and 4.5 assists. The contest will be the first of two this season for the trio in front of their family and friends. The Bonnies return to Philadelphia on Feb. 21 to take on La Salle on CBS College Sports Regional.

lEaDEr oF thE packWith the ability to score in a variety of ways, sophomore an-dRew nicholson has used his versatile offensive ability to lead the nation with a 60 field goal percentage. Nicholson finished 12th in the country as a freshman in 2008-09, but has responded by knocking down 50 percent of his shots in 14 of 19 games played, including double-digit field goals in five contests.

wEEklY honorAfter averaging 27.5 points, seven rebounds and 3.5 blocks over a pair of road games, sophomore andRew nicholson was named the A-10 Player of the Week on Jan. 24. Nicholson went for 26 points, seven boards and five blocks in a win at UMass and followed with a career high-tying 29 points, including 20 in the second half at Duquesne. The weekly award was the second of the year for Nicholson and his eighth overall (6 - ROW) as a Bonnie.

hEartBrEak hotElSix out of St. Bonaventure's seven A-10 games this season have been decided by 10 points or less, including four losses by seven points or less. Even worse, the Bonnies have been beaten in the final seconds of their last two A-10 road games (Duquesne & St. Louis) and their four conference road games have been decided by a combined eight points. St. Bonaventure's first six losses of the season came by a total of 21 points.

thE cn towErSophomore andRew nicholson is the center of attention for opposing teams. That hasn't stopped the reigning Atlantic 10 Rookie of the year from avoiding a sophomore slump, as the Canadian big man leads the team in both scoring (16.5) and rebounding (7.6). Nicholson leads the A-10 with a 60 percent (129-215) field goal percentage and is one of just two players to rank in top 10 in the conference in both scoring (7th) and rebounding (7th). Nicholson has produced five 20-point games: vs. St. John's (26), vs. Norfolk State (29), at Niagara (24), at UMass (26) and at Duquesne (29). Nicholson also has a team-best three double-doubles and five double-digit rebound games. Nicholson has led the team in scoring 11 times and rebounding 10 times this season, including both in the same game on six occasions.

conFErEncE BoostSophomore andRew nicholson has elevated his play on both ends of the court with the start of A-10 action. Among con-ference only leaders, Nicholson is fourth in scoring (18.0), fifth in rebounding (8.5), second in field goal percentage (.530), second in blocks (3.2) and sixth in minutes (35.8). Nicholson posted his third double-double of the year against Saint Joseph's and is one of 11 players with multiple 20-point games in league play.

soFt touchWho says big men can't shoot? According to the most recent NCAA statistics, sophomore andRew nicholson is less than two percentage points away at the charity stripe from being the only player in the nation shooting 60 percent or better from the field and at least 80 percent from the free throw line. To be eli-gible for the rankings, the player has to make five field goals per game and an average of 2.5 free throws per contest. The 6-foot-9 second-year forward is sixth in the A-10 in free throw percentage (.786) and leads the country in field goal percentage (.600).


saint louis DEals BonniEs last sEconD DEFEat(Box score & Full Recap on Page 38)sT. loUis, mo. - Sophomore Kwamain Mitchell’s basket with 1.4 seconds to go capped a 16-point half for the sophomore guard and helped Saint Louis fend off a late St. Bo-naventure rally for a dramatic 67-65 win on Wednesday night at Chaifetz Arena. Trailing by 11, 60-49, with 4:37 remaining, the Bonnies stormed back to tie the game at 65-65 on a three-pointer by senior Jonathan Hall with 26 seconds to play. The 16-5 run that Brown and White produced to tie the game for the ninth time featured a trio of three-pointers. Holding for the last shot, the Billikens got the ball into their leading scorer Mitchell, who drove down the right side of the lane and floated a shot over the out-stretched arms of 6-foot-9 forward Da’Quan Cook (Elizabeth, N.J./The Miller School) and off the glass into the hoop for the game-winner. Cook posted the best game of his career to pace five Bonnies in double figures. Cook set career-highs of 12 points and eight rebounds, in-cluding five on the offensive end. Hall also finished with five offensive caroms and eight total rebounds to go along with 13 points and three steals. Cook and Hall’s work on the glass helped St. Bonaventure grab 16 offensive rebounds that 22 second chance points.

nEw rolE, BiG DiviDEnDsAfter starting 42 straight games at point guard, junior mal-colm eleBy has adapted well to coming off the bench over the last seven games and is turning in some of the most pro-ductive minutes of his career. Over the last seven games, Eleby is averaging 7.1 points over a little less than 20 minutes per contest. Eleby has scored in double figures twice off the bench despite not playing over 28 minutes in a game. He has led team in assists in five of seven league games. Against Dayton, Eleby became the second player this season to lead the team in points (13), rebounds (8) and assists (3) in the same game.

mr. opportunisticWith the team's best all-around player in senior JonaThan hall out of the lineup due to injury for three games and limited in his return, sophomore michael davenPoRT has taken full advantage of the extra minutes and starting role over the last five games. Davenport has posted averages of 10.8 points and 4.8 rebounds over 28.8 minutes during the five games. The Cincinnati, Ohio product equaled a career-high 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds against Saint Joseph's and followed with his first career double-double at UMass (16 points & 10 rebounds).

BomBs awaYSenior chRis maTThews has continued to display the shooting stroke that helped him sink 81 three-pointers a year ago. Matthews equaled the school record of eight three-pointers against Illinois State, while also tying his own career-best of 28 points - both of which he set at Dayton in 2008-09. The Washington, D.C. product's 3.1 three-pointers per game currently lead the A-10 and rank 20th in the country. Matthews has made three or more treys in a game 11 times this season helping him rank third on the team in scoring at 11.3 per game. In just 50 games as a Bonnie, Matthews has moved into a tie for eighth place on the all-time three-pointer list with 142.

Do it all hallAfter becoming just the second player in program history to lead the team in points, rebounds and assists in the same year, senior JonaThan hall is quietly putting together another solid season. Hall ranks second on the club in nearly every statistical category; points (11.9), rebounds (4.8), assists (3.4), blocks (11) and field goal percentage (.547). The Miami, Fla. native has scored in double figures 14 times, grabbed five or more rebounds eight times and passed out at least five assists on four occasions. Hall ranks second in the A-10 in field goal percentage.

2009-10 Bonnies Trends

thE cincinnati kiDAfter a freshman season in which he averaged 3.3 points and played sparingly, mi-chael davenPoRT has shown major progress in his sophomore campaign. After scoring in double figures one time in 2008-09, the Cincinnati, Ohio product has already produced eight double-digit efforts this season. The Bonnies are 7-1 when the 6-foot-3 guard reaches double figures. Davenport is fourth on the team in scoring (8.9), third in assists (47) and third in rebounding (4.1).

paintinG thE town BrownSt. Bonaventure has been extremely efficient on offense this season. The Bonnies have shot 50 percent or better in eight games and are shooting at an impressive 47.1 percent clip for the year - tops in the A-10 and 35th in the nation. The easy buckets around the rim have led to a 699-638 edge in points in the paint. The 699 points in the paint ac-count for 50 percent of the team's offense and 35.0 points per game.

Dunk You vErY muchBlessed with a 7-foot-4 wingspan and plenty of bounce, sophomore andRew nich-olson's career 60 percent shoot clip is aided by his ability to dunk the basketball. Through 49 career games, Nicholson has thrown down 69 dunks out of his 283 field goals. In 2008-09, Nicholson had 37 dunks and has followed with 32 already this season. Nicholson set a career-high with seven slams at Niagara on Dec. 22. The Mississauga, Ontario product has a dunk in 30 career games, including 21 multi-dunk performances and 11 games of three or more dunks.

supEr sophsSophomores da'QUan cook, michael davenPoRT and andRew nichol-son were all in the starting five together for the first time in St. Bonaventure's 68-65 win over Saint Joseph's. The trio returned to the starting lineup on at UMass and at Duquesne and led the Brown and White to a 1-1 week on the road. Through their three games in the starting lineup together, the Bonnies are 2-1, while the super sophs have accounted for 40 percent of the team's scoring and rebounding this season while shooting a combined 53 percent from the floor.

thE Book oF Eli St. Bonaventure men’s basketball fans got get a good look at 2010 freshman-to-be elijah carter (Paterson, n.J./st. anthony) on Monday, Jan .18 when St. Anthony’s played against No.8 Westchester (Los Angeles) in the Spalding Hoophall Classic shown live on ESPNU. Carter has helped St. Anthony get off to a 17-2 start and No. 3 ranking in The Star Ledger's top 20 poll. The 6-foot-2 point guard is second on the team in scoring at 14.1 points per game and has led the team in scoring in six games. Carter has scored in double figures in 16 con-tests, including three 20-point outings. The Patterson, N.J. product helped the Friars win their first five games of the season before falling to Arlington Day (Fla.) in the championship game of the Tampa Hoops Classic. Carter averaged 16.8 points over the four-game tournament helping earn a spot on the All-Tourna-ment team. In the team's 49-48 win over Christian Brothers on Jan. 24, Carter went coast-to-cast for the game-winning shot with three seconds remaining for the dramatic win. Carter had five points over the final six minutes and finished with 14 for the game. Just a week later, Carter scored 12 fourth quarter points to led the Friars past DeMatha (Md.), who entered the week No. 15 in the USA Today Poll. Carter finished the game with 15 points. As a junior last season, Carter helped guide Saint Anthony’s to a 25-6 record and final New Jersey Hoops ranking of sixth in the state under guidance of legendary coach Bob Hurley. Carter averaged 5.5 points over the 31-game season, but finished the season strong by scoring

in double figures six out of the last nine games. “I think he showed flashes of potential last year,” said Hurley in November when Carter signed his National Letter of Intent (NLI). “Through the spring, summer and fall he put those flashes on the floor and in his performances. We expect him to lead us in scoring this year. St. Bonaventure fans should be excited about Elijah because he will get considerably better in the future.” Carter certainly produced offensively this past summer and really started to hit the scene playing for Team IZOD/Sports Uni-versity on the AAU circuit. He was named a Top 20 All-Star at both the Hoop Group Elite Camp in Philadelphia and the Eastern Invitational in Reading, Pa. Carter also found his way onto the All-Tournament team at the Hoop Group Fall Fest in Piscataway, N.J. Carter was named the MVP of Team IZOD/Sports University at the end of the season and led an under-manned team to the quarterfinals of the Is8/Nike Fall-Tip Off. Coach by Eric Harrield, Carter registered at least a trio of big games during the sum-mer and fall. He scored 31 points on six three-pointers against Team New Jersey ABC at the Rumble in the Bronx Tournament at Rose Hill Gym on the campus of Fordham University, and had 32 points and 28 points, respectively, in back-to-back games at the Reebok Classic in New Jersey.

HEADCOACHMARKSCHMIDT


Bio With his blue collar work ethic now installed in the program, third-year head coach Mark Schmidt will con-tinue his revival of St. Bonaventure basketball in 2009-10. Schmidt took over the tradition-rich program on April 10, 2007, becoming the 19th head coach in school history. In just two short years, Schmidt and the Bonnies have re-energized the Bona faithful and basketball-passionate Western New york community. In 2008-09, St. Bonaventure finished with a 15-15 overall record – the program’s best mark in the last six years. Included in that season was a program record seven consecutive road wins to start the season and the program’s first trip back to the Atlantic 10 Tournament since 2005. Team team’s seven true road wins also tied the record set by the 2001-02 club.

Key to the quick turnaround in 2008-09 was the team’s ability to buy into Schmidt’s emphasis on playing hard for 40 minutes. That philosophy paid big dividends, as the Bonnies out-rebounded 22 of their 30 opponents en route to ranking in the top five in the conference in all three major rebounding statistics. Also a direct result of Schmidt’s style of play was the team’s 70.8 points per game – the most by a Bonaventure team since 2002-03. During the 2008-09 season, freshman Andrew Nichol-son was named the A-10 Rookie of the year and a Fresh-man All-American by CollegeHoopsNet.com. Nicholson is the third player in Schmidt’s eight-year head coaching career to win a conference Rookie of the year accolade. Junior Jonathan Hall also flourished under Schmidt’s run-and-gun style, becoming the second player in program history to lead the team in points, rebounds and assists in the same season.

Additionally, Schmidt achieved a personal milestone of his own midway through the season, as he earned his 100th career win in the team’s 78-65 win at Fordham in the A-10 opener. Schmidt’s intense personality rubbed off on everyone involved with the program in his first season, including the senior class of Zarryon Fereti, Michael Lee and Tyler Relph who flourished under just one season of Schmidt’s guidance. All three posted career years on the court and experienced success of the court by graduating in May. Both Fereti and Lee worked their way into the profes-sional ranks overseas, while Relph finished as the NCAA leader in free throw percentage. Schmidt served as the head coach at Robert Morris for six seasons prior to coming to St. Bonaventure. There, he inherited a program that had managed just a 7-22 record in the season before his arrival. Schmidt quickly turned things around, leading the Colonials to the North-east Conference Tournament semifinals in 2004 and 2006. During his six seasons at RMU, he had an overall record of 82-90, including a 15-14 mark in 2005-06, the program's first winning season since 2000. Schmidt turned the Colo-nials into a year-in and year-out contender in the confer-ence, posting a 58-52 mark in league play highlighted by four seasons of 10 or more league wins. Schmidt coached six NEC All-Conference players at RMU, along with three All-Rookie team selections and one Conference Rookie of the year in Jeremy Chappell in 2006. Over the last two seasons, Schmidt saw his former recruit Tony Lee and Chappell garner back-to-back NEC Player of the year accolades in 2008 and 2009, respec-tively. Prior to Robert Morris, Schmidt spent seven seasons as an assistant coach at Xavier University under head coach Skip Prosser. Schmidt served as the program's top recruiter, landing future NBA players Torraye Braggs (Houston Rockets), Lionel Chalmers (Minnesota Timber-wolves), James Posey (Miami Heat), Romain Sato (San An-tonio Spurs) and David West (New Orleans Hornets). With most of his coaching responsibilities centered around the post players, Schmidt helped develop West into a three-time Atlantic 10 Player of the year and the National Player of the year in 2003. During his stay in Cincinnati, Ohio, Schmidt helped lead the Musketeers to four NCAA Tournament appear-ances and the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) twice. Xavier claimed its first-ever Atlantic 10 West Di-vision title in 1996-97 and both the West Division and


tournament championships in 1997-98. In 1997, Xavier defeated Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA Tour-nament and finished the season with the school's highest Associated Press ranking at No. 13. The Musketeers made it to the NIT Final Four at Madison Square Garden in 1999, finishing third, the school's best finish since 1958. Schmidt served as an assistant under Prosser at Loy-ola College during the 1993-94 season. He helped guide the Greyhounds to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament title and the school's first-ever NCAA Tour-nament berth. From 1991-93, Schmidt was an assistant at Penn State University under Bruce Parkhill. The Nittany Lions went 21-8 in 1992 and appeared in the NIT. Schmidt's coaching career began with a two-year stint as an assistant at St. Michael's College in Vermont. Schmidt played four seasons at Boston College, where he received his bachelor's degree in business administration and management with a concentration in marketing. In his freshman season under head coach Tom Davis, the Eagles went 22-10 and made the NCAA Elite Eight. Schmidt played his final three years under the guidance of head coach Gary Williams. Boston College advanced to the NIT in 1984 and the NCAA Sweet Sixteen the other two years. A native of North Attleboro, Mass., Schmidt and his wife Anita have three sons, Nicholas (14), Derek (12) and Michael (9).

Game #1ST. BONAvENTuRE 72Cleveland State 62Nov. 13, 2009 at the Reilly Center

st. BonavEnturE, n.Y. - St. Bonaventure jumped out to a 18-point halftime lead and never looked back as it cruised to a 72-62 season-opening win over defending Horizon League Tournament champ Cleveland State on Friday night at the Reilly Center. The opening 20 minutes looked like anything but the Brown and White’s first half of the season, as their 41-22 advantage at the half brought the crowd of 4,860 fans to their feet. St. Bonaventure was sharp on the offensive end, shooting an unheard-of 77 percent from the floor over the opening 20 minutes. “I thought we played a terrific first half and got out to a great start shooting 77 percent from the field,” said head coach maRk schmidT. “That was the best half of basketball from both an offensive and defensive standpoint that we’ve had in a long time.” The Bonnies received a trio of big performances, led by senior JonaThan hall’s game-high 20 points that came on 10-of-14 from the field to go along with a team-best eight rebounds. Sophomore andRew nicholson contributed 17 points, including 14 in the first half, while adding seven boards and four blocks. The surprise game came from sophomore michael davenPoRT (pictured) who came off the bench and established a new career-high with 19 points on 7-of-10 from the field in 28 minutes of work. Led by Davenport, the Bona bench out-scored Cleveland State’s reserves by a 25-9 margin.

Game #2St. John's 69ST. BONAvENTuRE 68Nov. 17, 2009 at Blue Cross Arena

rochEstEr, n.Y. - After erasing a late seven-point deficit over the final three minutes, St. Bonaventure watched its lead evaporate with just six seconds remaining as Malik Boothe sank a pair of free throws to send St. John's to a thrilling 69-68 win on Tuesday night at Blue Cross Arena. Sophomore andRew nicholson (pictured) made good on his two free throw attempts with just 11 seconds to go, giving the Bonnies their first lead, 68-67, since the 18:05 mark early in the half. Boothe then broke the Brown and White's full court pressure and was fouled going to the rim resulting in the two free throws. St. Bonaventure did get a good look in its final shot, but sophomore michael davenPoRT's three-pointer from the top of the key caromed off the back of the rim as the buzzer sounded. The back-and-forth game featured 10 lead changes and nine ties, as both team's enjoyed good nights on the offensive end. The Bonnies finished above the 50 percent plateau for the second straight game, connecting on 26-of-46 from the field. St. John's shot 54 percent , but made eight three-pointers to the Bonnies' one. The Bonnies out-scored St. John's by a 44-30 margin in the paint. The major reason for that advantage down low was the play of Nicholson, who led all scorers with 26 points despite missing the final nine minutes of the first half due to foul trouble. Nicholson finished 11-of-15 of the field and scored 17 points in the second half.

Game #3ST. BONAvENTuRE 66Binghamton 40Nov. 20, 2009 at the Reilly Center

st. BonavEnturE, n.Y. - A 35-6 run that stretched from the end of the first half through the opening 12 minutes of the second half helped St. Bonaventure shake off a slow start en route to a 66-40 win over Binghamton on Friday night at the Reilly Center. The 40 points giving up is the best defensive effort since Jan. 7, 1995, when the Brown and White held Appalachian State to 32 points at the Reilly Center. It also marks the first time the Bonnies have held a team under 50 points since an 84-44 win over Rhode Island in 2000.

charlottE, n.c. - A combined 27 points and 23 rebounds from the frontcourt duo of Shamari Spears and Chris Braswell helped Charlotte survive a gutsy road effort from St. Bonaventure for a 57-54 win in front of a vocal 5,683 fans on Saturday night at Halton Arena.

Game #18DuQuESNE 70St. Bonaventure 69Jan. 23, 2010 at the Palumbo Center

pittsBurGh, pa. - Melquan Bolding’s three-pointer with 3.4 seconds left helped Duquesne overcome a career high-tying 29 points from St. Bonaventure sophomore andRew nicholson (pictured) for a dramatic 70-69 win on Saturday night at A.J. Palumbo Center. Nicholson tallied 20 of his 29 points in the second half, including 20 of 24 during a key stretch in the second half to help the Bonnies erase a 15-point halftime deficit and take a 68-64 lead with 1:13 left in the game. With SBU still leading 69-67, Duquesne’s Damian Saunders drove the left wing and delivered a skip pass to Bolding in the right corner for the three-pointer and the 70-69 lead with 3.4 ticks left on the clock. Bolding’s field goal was Duquesne’s first since the 12:45 mark of the half, which, oddly enough, was a jumper by Bolding. St. Bonaventure never got off a game-winning attempt in the final seconds. Nicholson’s game-high 29 points came on 11-of-18 from the field and 7-of-10 from the charity stripe, as the reigning A-10 Rookie of the year equaled the 29 points he put up at the Palumbo Center last season. St. Bonaventure nearly erased a 43-28 halftime deficit by shooting 54 percent (15-28) in the second half.

Game #19Dayton 75ST. BONAvENTuRE 58Jan. 30, 2010 at the Reilly Center

st. BonavEnturE, n.Y. - With St. Bonaventure sophomore andRew nicholson sidelined, Dayton used its superior athleticism and great depth to wear down the Bonnies for a 75-58 Atlantic 10 win on Saturday night in front of a season-high 5,290 fans at the Reilly Center. Nicholson, the reigning A-10 Player of the Week, missed the game due to illness as the Bonnies slipped to 9-10 on the season and 2-4 in the A-10. Dayton took full advantage of the league’s reigning Rookie of the year sitting out by out-rebounding the Bonnies by a 45-30 margin, including a commanding 26-8 edge in the first half. The Flyers work on the boards combined with 32 points from its bench and 25-of-34 shooting proved to be the difference. St. Bonaventure shot under 40 percent for just the third time this season, connecting on just 21-of-57 from the field, 4-of-19 from three and 12-of-24 from the charity stripe. The Bonnies did commit a season-low nine turnovers and received 26 points from the bench. Leading the way for the Bonnies was junior malcolm eleBy (pictured), who led the team in scoring (13), rebounding (8) and assists (3) in 28 minutes off the bench. Sophomore michael davenPoRT was the only other Bonnie in double figures with 10 points. Redshirt freshman maRQUise simmons turned in quality minutes off the bench with eight points and seven boards.

Game #20Saint Louis 67ST. BONAvENTuRE 65Feb. 3, 2010 at Chaifetz Arena

st. louis, mo. - Sophomore Kwamain Mitchell’s basket with 1.4 seconds to go capped a 16-point half for the sophomore guard and helped Saint Louis fend off a late St. Bonaventure rally for a dramatic 67-65 win on Wednesday night at Chaifetz Arena. Trailing by 11, 60-49, with 4:37 remaining, the Bonnies stormed back to tie the game at 65-65 on a three-pointer by senior JonaThan hall with 26 seconds to play. The 16-5 run that Brown and White produced to tie the game for the ninth time featured a trio of three-pointers. Holding for the last shot, the Billikens got the ball into their leading scorer Mitchell, who drove down the right side of the lane and floated a shot over the out-stretched arms of 6-foot-9 forward da’QUan cook (pictured) and off the glass into the hoop for the game-winner. St. Bonaventure’s final shot from half court fell short as it slipped to 9-11 on the season and 2-5 in the A-10. The Brown and White’s three A-10 road losses have now come by a combined six points. Cook posted the best game of his career to pace five Bonnies in double figures. Cook set career-highs of 12 points and eight rebounds, including five on the offensive end. Hall also finished with five offensive caroms and eight total rebounds to go along with 13 points and three steals. Cook and Hall’s work on the glass helped St. Bonaventure grab 16 offensive rebounds that 22 second chance points and a 36-27 overall rebounding edge.
