The St. Bonaventure Bonnies will look to add to their current six-game win streak after a 73-55 win over Rhode Island last time out. Jalen Adaway leads the Bonnies in scoring with 16 PPG along with 6.3 RPG while Jaren Holmes has 13.9 PPG with 5.4 RPG and 3.7 APG this season.

The Saint Joseph’s Hawks will try to snap a five-game losing skid after a 72-61 loss to Saint Louis last time out. Jordan Hall leads the Hawks in scoring and assists with 14.2 PPG and 6 APG along with 6.5 RPG while Taylor Funk has 13.2 PPG with 6.5 RPG and Ejike Obinna has 12.5 PPG with 7.2 RPG as well to lead the Hawks on the glass. Erik Reynolds II has 11.8 PPG as well for the Hawks to round out the group of double-digit scorers for Saint Joseph’s so far this season. As a team, Saint Joseph’s is averaging 69.3 PPG on 42.9% shooting from the field, 33.3% from three and 65.9% from the foul line while allowing 71 PPG on 43.7% shooting from the field and 33.1% from three this season.

St. Bonaventure is 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 Saturday games. Saint Joseph’s is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss while the over is 6-2 in their last 8 games as a home underdog.

The Bonnies looked early on like they were going to have issues living up to the perennial expectations set out for them, but in the last two weeks or so, the Bonnies have turned it on and have been playing some of the best ball in the A-10. Granted, a lot of that came at home, but going on the road to take on a Hawks team that’s been struggling regardless of the venue shouldn’t pose too much of a threat. Give me the Bonnies laying the points here.
