Result:
WIN

Loyola-Maryland brings an eight-game win streak into this one, but they step up in competition against a fine A-10 squad. The only time they stepped up was the opener, a 12-point loss at Wake Forest, 75-63, allowing 49% shooting and getting nine of their shots blocked. That's a concern again as St. Bonaventure has a big frontcourt with 6-foot-9, 240-pound senior All-America candidate Andrew Nicholson (15.3 points per game, 8.1 rebounds per game) and 6-8 senior Da'Quan Cook (6 rpg). That loss to Wake should have been much worse, but Wake missed an astonishing 24 free throws! The Bonnies are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games while the Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. St. Bonaventure is in its second game of a six-game stretch that will keep the Bonnies in the Empire State, so look for a huge effort by the rested home team. Play on St. Bonaventure.
