The St. Bonaventure Bonnies come into the conference tournament as the #4 seed after finishing the year at 20-8 overall including a 12-5 mark in A-10 conference play this season. Jalen Adaway leads the Bonnies in scoring with 16 PPG along with 6.4 RPG while Jaren Holmes has 13.6 PPG with 5.2 RPG and 3.7 APG this season. Kyle Lofton has 13 PPG with a team-high 5.8 APG to lead the Bonnies in the assist department this season. Dominick Welch has 11.9 PPG with 5.8 RPG and Osun Osunniyi has 11.3 PPG with a team-high 7.5 RPG to lead the Bonnies on the glass this season.

Saint Louis is 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 neutral site games while the under is 9-1 in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record. St. Bonaventure is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 neutral site games while the under is 8-1 in their last 9 games against a team with a winning record.

I get the case to be made for both sides here and the Bonnies did sweep the season series with the Billikens. However, call me a glutton for punishment as I had Saint Louis in both of those games, but I’m going back to the well with Saint Louis here. The Billikens have still been one of the better teams in the A-10 this season and while the Bonnies have been in better standing at the end of the year, I just think the Billikens end up getting one here. Give me Saint Louis in this one.
