Davidson has been great on both ends of the court this season as the Wildcats come into this game ranked 58^th in scoring offense, 7^th in FG%, 120^th in scoring defense, & 65^th in rebound margin. St. Bonaventure has been led by their defense which ranks 147^th in scoring defense & 130^th in defensive FG%, however, the Bonnies have struggled at times on the offensive end and currently rank just 197^th in scoring offense, 174^th in FG%, & 259^th in 3P-FG%.

St. Bonaventure has some solid experience and a great starting five, however, the Bonnies lack depth which has hurt them in the 2^nd half of games. St. Bonaventure is an impressive 7-1 at home, however, Davidson comes into this game with a 6-0 road record which includes a win at Richmond along with a neutral site victory over Alabama. Davidson has the talent and offense to match up with St. Bonaventure and as they have just been the better team all season, I’m taking the Wildcats and the point. Good Luck!
