The St. Bonaventure Bonnies extended their winning streak to five games with a thrilling 85-77 comeback victory over the Colgate Raiders on Wednesday night. The Bonnies, who improved to 10-1, trailed by 14 points early in the second half but mounted a 13-4 run to regain the lead and eventually win the game. The victory showcased the team’s resilience and character, as they overcame adversity to secure the win.<\/p>\n
Senior forward Frank Mitchell was named the Kenpom.com Player of the Game, posting a double-double with 19 points and 18 rebounds, including 11 offensive boards. Fellow senior Cayden Charles also had a double-double, scoring a season-high 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Junior Dasonte Bowen added a season-high 15 points and a career-best nine assists, while Buddy Simmons scored 17 points.<\/p>\n
The Bonnies’ victory was a testament to the team’s veteran leadership, as their experienced players stepped up to lead the comeback. “You find out a lot about a player, a person, and a team, when adversity hits,” said coach Mark Schmidt. “If you’re a competitor, you get up and fight. I thought we gathered ourselves, we came back in the second half and played much better.”<\/p>\n
The Raiders, who fell to 6-5, were led by Jalen Cox’s 26 points and Andrew Alekseyenko’s 25 points. Colgate struggled at the free-throw line, shooting just 52.6%, which was uncharacteristic of their usual 74% mark.<\/p>\n
The Bonnies will look to continue their winning streak on Saturday when they face Ohio University in the Cleveland Hoops Showdown. The Bobcats, who are 3-6, rely heavily on scoring in the paint, with only 26% of their points coming from beyond the arc. The game will be a test of the Bonnies’ mettle, as they face a team that is looking to build on their current two-game winning streak. With their strong veteran leadership and resilient mindset, the Bonnies are well-equipped to take on the challenge and extend their winning streak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
