Location: St. Bonaventure, N.Y. (Reilly Center)
Current Records: VCU 10-5, 3-1 in A-10. St. Bonaventure
10-3, 2-0 in A-10.
In a rematch of last season's A-10 Conference Championship Game, once again the poised, veteran Bonnies simply brought more to the floor than the Rams could handle. VCU stumbled in the last two minutes of the first half and never regained its balance.
The info below was supplied by Chris Kowalczyk, VCU Assistant A.D.
OPENING TIP
· Tsohonis connected on 4-of-8 attempts from beyond the 3-point arc to bolster the VCU offense
· Senior forward Vince Williams Jr. added 12 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals for the Black and Gold, while senior guard KeShawn Curry provided nine points
· Jalen Adaway led all scorers with 25 points and eight rebounds for the Bonnies. He finished the night 8-of-14 from the field
THE DIFFERENCE
· VCU pulled within 29-28 behind four straight free throws in the waning moments of the first half, but St. Bonaventure responded with a 17-2 run that bled into the first 5:06 of the second half to build a 46-30 lead. Adaway supplied eight of those points for St. Bonaventure. The Rams were unable to recover
· The Bonnies owned a 37-37 advantage on the glass and made 23-of-27 free throws. VCU was 6-of-8 at the line
· The Rams were also hurt by nine first-half turnovers that led to 12 St. Bonaventure points
· VCU shot 39 percent (20-of-52) on the night
NOTABLE
· The loss snaps VCU’s seven-game win streak
· The all-time series between these two schools stands at 7-7
· Tsohonis has scored in double figures in three straight games. He topped double digits once in the first 12 games of the season
