What to Know

The St. Bonaventure Bonnies and the Massachusetts Minutemen are set to square off in an Atlantic 10 matchup at 7 p.m. ET Feb. 16 at Reilly Center. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.

It was a close one, but on Monday St. Bonaventure sidestepped the Saint Louis Billikens for an 83-79 victory. The Bonnies relied on the efforts of forward Osun Osunniyi, who had 21 points in addition to three blocks, and guard Dominick Welch, who had 19 points along with six rebounds. Osunniyi has also now had at least three blocks in his past three games.

Speaking of close games: things were close when UMass and the Saint Joseph's Hawks clashed this past Saturday, but the Minutemen ultimately edged out the opposition 69-67. Kudos to the oddsmakers for accurately forecasting both the winner and the close margin. UMass got double-digit scores from four players: forward Michael Steadman (19), guard T.J. Weeks Jr. (12), forward Trent Buttrick (11), and guard Noah Fernandes (10).

This next matchup looks promising for St. Bonaventure, who are favored by a full 11.5 points. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

St. Bonaventure is now 15-7 while the Minutemen sit at 11-12. The Bonnies are 9-5 after wins this year, UMass 2-8.
