Our 'A' game will beat them. Our 'B' game might not. Our 'C' game will cause us to lose by double digits.

I live about an hour away from St. Bonaventure and have always been a fan of there's so this is what i can tell you about them.

-They are an "average," at best atlantic 10 team.
-They can play with the big guys and upset a few teams (St. John's) but its a rarity
-They also lose to some bad teams.
-They are 5-3 on the season but they have lost to MAAC bottom feeders (Niagara and Canisius)
-They defeated fellow MAC opponent Buffalo (UB)
-Their top player is Andrew Nicholson. He is a junior forward who gets a lot of touches for them. He might have an outside chance at playing in the NBA.

-With all that being said, I believe that Ohio should beat St. Bonaventure.

-I'm probably going to make the 1 hour 15 minute drive to watch the game and then get back home to watch Ohio's bowl game vs. Troy.

GO OHIO!

I''m hoping out hot shooting carries over to road games. It seems like that usually isn't the case unfortunately.

Sounds a lot like the Cats.  Not an "average" MAC team, but play like it sometimes; upset the big guys once in a while but can lose to some bad teams (though not this year, so far -- IUPUI is so-so, not bad).  

This isn't going to be a stat-padder like the St. Francis game.  They'll probably not be able to shoot 50%+, but they will need to at least get upper 40s.  Hope they make it 2-0 on the opponent's floor.

Go Cats!!

Thanks, OUVan. Not a bad picture. Only thing, no audio and no score shown on screen. Tried Ohio announcers but they're at least 8 seconds behind the video.

Cooper 14 at the half - steals, assists looking good too. 36-36,I think we can win this.

Yep, I turned down the audio on the video feed and am going with our radio feed which is surprisingly on time.

Wasnt looking good but a HUGE run to end the half.  Need Devo to come back and play a solid 15 minutes and stay out of foul trouble.

Need someone to tell some of the Ohio players that not every 3-point look is a good shot. Heck, not every open three is a good shot.

Cooper and Nicholson putting on a show with 15 seconds left in OT and tied up.

Going to second OT as St. Bonnie misses 2 FT w/ 2 seconds left. Ohio announcer not sure if 2 fouls on Ohio (Keely and Hall) in final 25 seconds of OT were good calls. Would like to know what Ohio fans at the game (Borna, Joe Mac, SBH) think.

This is a really crazy game.  A lot of back and forth and some clutch and wild shots down the stretch.  We almost got screwed with a handcheck foul with 3 seconds left in OT, but luckily they missed both free throws.  DJ is doing his best to win this game and is definitely not afraid to take the big shots.  We do need a better inside game though.  Alright time for some double OT!

I think its 37 points, 12 assists, 8 boards, 8 steals for Cooper at this point.

Hate to pick on him here - but Keely has got to get better with his hands, eyes, or both! That should have been a basket or free throws to win the game!

My family, SBH and Mrs. SBH saw Ohio and St. Bonnie play in Athens on New Year's Eve a few years ago with Ohio breaking the century mark in points in an entertaining win.
 
I gave SBH a hard time earlier this afternoon when he called me while doing my daughter and I were doing some Christmas shopping to tell me he made the trip to Olean for the game today. Now I feel a little jealous and wish I had made the trek to western NY.
