The Bonnies have had a pretty nice year so far, with just one blemish versus a highly-ranked team on the card. Saint Bonaventure started out the season on a 5-0 stretch. The wins in that time were versus Bradley, Canisius, Siena, Youngstown State and Robert Morris in succession. Game six was the Bonnies’ first loss, an 85-70 affair versus North Carolina. Saint Bonaventure would bounce back a couple of days later though, taking out East Carolina. That win improved the Bonnies to 6-1 overall through seven games so far this season.

FAU vs St. Bonaventure Prediction
I’ll lean toward the Bonnies here. Saint Bonaventure had a slow first half in their latest matchup versus East Carolina, but got it going in the second. The Bonnies ended up with a tepid 40.7 percent shooting, a 35-33 rebounding deficit and 14 turnovers. That said, Saint Bonaventure also did well from the line (12-of-14 for 85.7 percent) and outscored the Pirates in the paint 26-18. The Bonnies also held ECU to just 29.1 percent shooting and got seven steals off 17 Pirates turnovers. The 67 points were the Bonnies’ lowest total of the season so far however; I’d like to see them crack the 70-point mark again here.
As for FAU, they gave up 49 percent shooting from the field and 52.9 percent (9-of-17) from 3-point range in their latest loss to a good George Mason team. The Owls were pretty solid otherwise, outside of a 6-of-23 success rate (26.1 percent) from 3-point range. FAU can score pretty well this year when they’re on point, so this should be a good matchup.
