Result: Loss
This game matches up two of the three teams that started Atlantic 10 play 2-0 (Richmond is the other) this season. The Billikens are at home and have the edge offensively as Josh Schertz brought his attacking philosophy, not to mention Swope and Avila, with him from Indiana State. Where Saint Louis may hit a wall is facing a Bonnies team that simply stifles opposing offenses. St. Bonaventure has surrendered more than 70 points just three times in their 15 games this season and their lone loss was a five-point defeat on a neutral floor to Utah State. That’s right: St. Bonaventure is perfect at home (8-0) and on the road (5-0) this season. Look for Mark Schmidt’s team to play their usual stingy defense and force Saint Louis into shots they may not necessarily want to take. Meanwhile, the Bonnies play their game and steal one on the road: you can take the points but sprinkle on the moneyline as well. After all, they are 13-1 ATS this season.
