Phoenix, when was the last time we beat the Bonnies?

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

Little surprised by the line. I was guessing Dukes -1.5. That's what 2 big wins will do. Press worked well against them at their place, hoping to see it early tomorrow.

I believe KD has only beaten the Bonnies once.

Last win:  DUQUESNE 81, ST. BONAVENTURE 77 (OT) Feb. 26, 2020 • Reilly Center • Olean, N.Y.

RECAP Sincere Carry scored 18 points, handed out a career-high 11 assists and hit big free throws both at the end of regulation and in overtime to lead Duquesne (19-8, 9-6) to an 81-77 win at St. Bonaventure (18-10, 10-5). The win was the school record fifth Atlantic 10 road win for the Dukes who snapped an 11-game losing streak at Reilly Center. Michael Hughes had 18 points, seven rebounds and three blocks and Lamar Norman Jr. added 14 points - including four 3-pointers - for DU. Duquesne, which led for over 32 minutes overall, found itself down three when Kyle Lofton, who scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half, scored on a Hughes goal tend with 40 seconds to go. Hughes answered with a jump hook to make it 70-69 with 27 seconds left. Lofton then made one-of-two free throws to set up DU’s final possession. Carry was fouled and converted a 1-and-1 to tie it at 71-71 with 13 seconds left to force overtime. Baylee Steele opened overtime with a 3-pointer to give Duquesne a lead it would never relinquish. DU was up 78-77 when Carry, who had just misfired on a 3-point attempt from the top of the key, drew a charge from Justin Winston at the other end. Tavian Dunn-Martin was then fouled and made one-of-two with 21 seconds left. Hughes then got a piece of a Lofton shot in the lane that was tracked down by Carry who was fouled with seven seconds left. Carry buried both free throws for the final margin. Duquesne led by nine twice, before taking a 35-28 lead at the half. Hughes had eight and Austin Rotroff, who had 10 points in his first 17 games, scored all six of his points in the opening 20 minutes for DU. Lofton, who had two points on three shots in the first half, scored five in the first two minutes of the second half to key an 11-3 run that gave SBU its first lead since the 12:15 mark of the first half at 39-38. Carry had a layup rim out and Osunniyi, who finished with a game-high 23 points, converted at the other end to make it 60-56 with just over five minutes to go. Carry then hit a 3-pointer to make it a one-point game. SBU scored on back-to-back possessions to take its largest lead, before Carry scored to make it 66-63. DU cut it to one on a Carry drive with one minute left.

NOTES The Dukes assisted on 23 of 31 field goals ... St. Bonaventure’s largest lead was five at 66-61 with 2:50 left in regulation ... Duquesne’s largest lead was nine the last of which came at 35-26 with five seconds left in the first half ... there were four ties and nine lead changes before Baylee Steele gave DU the lead for good on a 3-pointer to open overtime ... St. Bonaventure led for 9:41 ... Duquesne led for 32:32.

  • This is the 131st game between the two in a series that dates to Feb. 13, 1920. St. Bonaventure is Duquesne's most frequent all-time opponent. The average score in the first 130 meetings?: DU 71.8, SBU 71.0 (9,339 to 9,234 points, 105-point difference). This is the 72nd consecutive season the two are meeting and 18th straight year the two are meeting home-and-home. DU owns more conference wins over SBU (32) than any other A-10 school. The Bonnies have won the past six meetings between the two including the past six in Pittsburgh.
  • St. Bonaventure, which has won 20 the past 23 games overall, leads the series 70-60, including a 43-32 advantage in A-10 regular season games and 4-2 edge in A-10 Championship meetings.
  • The Bonnies have won 17 of the past 20, but it hasn't been easy as 10 of the 20 have been decided by four or fewer points. SBU took the first meeting this season, 65-56 at Reilly Center on Jan. 18.

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

Do you know the date?  We have alway struggled against them, no matter who they had on their team.  For years,, it has seemed that Schmidt "has our number."  I hope tomorrow is different.  Go Dukes!

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

They got a good starting 5 and no bench.They seemed to wear down last time we played.Hopefully Dukes 
can exploit that weakness.

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

Took longer than I expected but Bonnie board started up with the we are going to get homered by officials take. Must of been a couple of old timers because we haven't enjoyed any home cooking since the nelson's were here but I hope they're right for once.

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

Not to change the subject,but I watched St.L. loose at Dayton and 2 things struck me. They can not shoot and they can't defend under the basket. Dayton didn't beat them as much as St.L. simply missed every shot.  Win today and beat St.L. and we just might sweep the rest of the season.

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

I am a BIG hypocrite for saying this, but one game at a time. We've got a war ahead of us with Bonaventure today! But I think we're ready for it! As long as the focus is there on the defensive end and the ball is moving on the offensive end we're nearly unbeatable

Absolutely agree. Today's game is a must win. I'll be there in Red today. Go Dukes.

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

I am going against history & my initial gut feeling to predict a Dukes win  by at least 10 points. THIS is the day that the Dukes are on the rise, they have an important home game with a great crowd, & they seize the day!

Had to go out of town but will be watching. Dukes by 9.

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

Big one for our Dukes today! Limit ball penetration and control Venning, and I like our odds. They are a very good defensive team, would love to get off to a good start today. Need to match their physicality. I’ve been fired up all morning! Go Dukes!

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

Terrible travel call to start the game. Clark jumpstop, step through, layup. Just how it’s taught. Textbook. This the homecooking Bonnies fans were talking about? Haha.

 

2/11/2023 2:00 pm  #21


Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

6-2 fouls disadvantage. If this is homecooking, I do NOT like it.

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

Wow, I'll save the analysis for later.  That was amazing. That defensive effort was unlike anything I have ever seen. I love this team. Great win!

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

Geez.  Should have never been that close.  Make free throws!!   Defense was off that charts today, really amazing the # of steals and TOs forced.

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

This ain’t horseshoes. This ain’t hand grenades. Wins a win and good teams have to be able to gut them out. How many Dukes teams in the past would either win big or fold under pressure with no in between? Bona is *always* a tough out and we got there. Let’s gooooo!

Re: Game Thread - St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (H)

I am glad my Doc isn't checking my heart!!  OMG what a game.  So tense, frustrating, exhilarating all at once.  Go Dukes!!  Defense was outstanding the whole game and is the singular reason we won.  When you shoot 2.17% from the three, 36.8%  from the field and 56.3% from the foul line and still win that is a testament to the D.  I mean we forced 24 turnovers and if we shoot half way decent we will by 10 or 15.  I finally exhaled and I am just relieved we won and finally beat the Bonnies.  I also think KD pushed all the right buttons in this game - well coached KD.  Remember KD can't make the shots for the guys, but again when your O is off you need the D to carry you and this team has bought into that!!  LETS GO DUQUESNE!!  Huge win boys!!
