Siena wasn’t able to keep their winning ways going in the MACC Tournament and suffered an early exit. The Saints lost to Iona 55-52 in the Quarterfinals on March 10, ending their season on a down note.
Over on the St. Bonaventure side, they found quite a bit of success last season with a 16-5 overall record and an 11-4 mark in Atlantic-10 play. That result left the Bonnies with a regular-season championship ahead of VCU at 10-4.
St. Bonaventure didn’t have much trouble in the A-10 Tournament, taking out Duquesne, Saint Louis and VCU on the way to the championship. The Bonnies earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament, but unfortunately fell 76-61 to LSU in the First Round.
The Saints are 7-1 ATS in their last eight Tuesday games and 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Siena is 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven overall as well.
Meanwhile, the Bonnies are 2-0-2 ATS in their last four Tuesday games and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 overall. St. Bonaventure is 22-7-2 ATS in their last 31 at home.
PICK: I’m going with the Bonnies. St. Bonaventure has some high expectations in 2021-22 after their championship, and with all five seniors returning to the roster (including A10 First Team selections Kyle Lofton and Osun Osunniyi) things are looking up. The Bonnies’ non-conference schedule looks quite formidable, but the carryover in chemistry will go a long way toward early-season success. I like St. Bonaventure to start off well here on their way to contending for another conference championship.
