ScoutinG the SPiderSWinners of five of its last six, Richmond enters Wednesday's tilt as the tournament's No. 6 seed after finishing in a four-way tie for fifth place in the A-10 standings at 9-7. Led by fourth-year head coach Chris Mooney, who recently received a contract extension, the Spiders are fresh off a 80-75 win over then-No. 17 Xavier in their season finale. Leading the way in the win was ultra-quick point guard Kevin Anderson who finished with 29 points en route to earning the final A-10 Co-Player of the Week honor. Anderson, a second team All-Atlantic 10 selection, leads the team with 16.2 points per game - good for seventh in the A-10. Forming the other half of the All-Conference backcourt is David Gonzalvez. The junior guard ranks among the top three on the team in nearly every statistical category, highlighted by his 15.6 points per game that rank eighth in the conference.

BONAVeNTuRe, N.y. - With its postseason hopes still hanging in the balance, St. Bonaventure capped its regular season by clinching its first Atlantic 10 Tournament berth since 2005 with a 74-68 win over Charlotte on Saturday afternoon. Playing in the final home game of his career, senior tYler BenSon (pictured) drilled four three-pointers as the Bonnies tied a season-high with nine trefectas on the night.

The other half of the Bona long range threat came from junior chriS matthewS, who brought his season three-point-er total to 80 with four more long range field goals. Matthews finished with a game-high 22 points, sinking 8-of-10 from the free throw line in 38 minutes of work. Mixed in with St. Bonaventure's solid outside game was the inside play of 6-foot-9 freshman andrew nicholSon.

30'S the new 20Junior jonathan hall'S 31-point game against Saint Louis (Feb. 25) marked the first time in 54 games that a St. Bo-naventure player has reached the 30-point plateau. ZarrYon Fereti was the last player to accomplish the feat when he scored 32 points in the 2007-08 home opener against Bing-hamton. Hall is one of 10 players in the A-10 to score 30 points this season and just the eighth in conference play.

Board worK After winning the battle on the glass just 12 times all of last season, the Brown and White have responded by out-re-bounding 21 of their 29 opponents this year for a +3.8 margin on the glass. The increased effort has come by committee as six different players are averaging 3.4 or more boards per game. St. Bonaventure is the only team in the A-10 to sport three players in the top 20 in rebounding. As a team, the Bonnies have grabbed 10 or more offensive rebounds in 21 games, highlighted by a season-best 24 against Canisius and 20 against uMass. The Brown and White posted their biggest rebound margins of the season at Duquesne, owning the glass by a 52-27 edge, and against uMass, 48-28. The Bonnies sport three players with over 50 offensive boards.

home cooKinGSt. Bonaventure's four-game home win streak to close the season came just in the nick of time as it is endured a rough stretch on the road. Over their final four games at the Reilly Center, the Bonnies out-scored their opponents by nine points per game, holding a +10.3 margin on the glass. The Bonnies shot over 50 percent during the four-game stretch, led by junior jonathan hall'S 16.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game averages. St. Bonaventure's four opponents didn't fair so well on the offensive end, combining for a 39 percent clip from the field, including 25 percent from long range.

john oF all tradeS Junior jonathan hall has shown he can do a little bit of everything this season. Hall ranks among the conference lead-ers in six different categories and up until last week was one of two players in the A-10 (Duquesne's Aaron Jackson) to rank in the top 20 in scoring, rebounding and assists. Just three games removed from scoring 31 points against Saint Louis, Hall leads the team in scoring (12.9), rebounding (6.4) and as-sists (3.2). The Miami, Fla. product also averages a team-best 35.4 minutes per game and is second on the team in blocks (17) and steals (33). Hall has shown consistency at the offensive end, finishing in double figures in 21 games, while leading the team in scoring on seven occasions. Below is a look at the number of games Hall has led the team in each category, including ties.

The 6-foot-3 floor leader finished in double figure points in six of those games, averaging 10.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists over that span. The Philadelphia, Pa. native has made a living at taking smaller point guards to the hoop and has sank 27 of his last 33 from the free throw line. eleby sports a 1.6 assists/turnover ratio over the last eight games, highlighted by a career-high seven helpers against uMass and six at Temple. eleby's play over the final eight games helped the Bonnies pick up four wins to qualifty for the A-10 Tournament.

2008-09 Bonnies Trends

SiX-PacKFreshman andrew nicholSon earned his program record sixth A-10 Rookie of the Week award on Feb. 11, surpassing Alvin Lott's total of five in the 1983-84 season. Three of Nicholson's weekly citations have come during conference play, where he has scored in double figures in 12 of 16 games.

Swat team Led by freshman andrew nicholSon, St. Bonaventure has a new element to its ag-gressive style of defense ... blocked shots. The Bonnies' 141 blocks are more than double the amount of last year's total of 64. Nicholson has been the catalyst for the turnaround, swatting away 79 shots so far this season good for third on the program's single-season list. Nicholson's 79 blocks lead all freshmen, while his 2.7 per game is second in the A-10 and seventh nationally. Nicholson tied a program single-game record with eight rejec-tions against Princeton, but broke that mark with nine blocked shots at Bucknell. Nich-olson's nine blocks are the third-best single-game total in the NCAA this season. As a team, St. Bonaventure is third in the A-10 and 31st nationally at 4.9 blocks per game.

Frontcourt Force The combo of junior maurice thomaS and freshman andrew nicholSon has given St. Bonaventure one of the most formidable frontcourts in the A-10. The duo has combined to average 21.9 points and 12.1 rebounds per game, while shooting 58 per-cent from the floor (239-408). Either Thomas or Nicholson has led the Brown and White in rebounding in 19 games and scoring 12 times. Together they own nine of the team's 12 double-doubles and have 120 offensive rebounds. Both rank in the top 20 in the A-10 in overall rebounding and offensive rebounds.

douBle downJunior maurice thomaS registered a double-double in four Atlantic 10 contests, ranking fourth amongst the conference only leaders. On the season, Thomas has six of St. Bonaventure's 12 double-doubles, while junior jonathan hall has three and freshman andrew nicholSon also has three. Both Hall and Nicholson left Pitts-burgh on Jan. 31 with a double-dip, marking the first time two players have registered a double-double in the same game since 2007. Oddly enough, the last time also happened at Duquesne (Feb. 24, 2007) when a.j. hawKinS (29 & 12) and michael lee (10 & 14) each had double-doubles.


2008-09 BONNIES IN THESINGLE-SEASON RECORDS

record BreaKerS Freshman andrew nicholSon has set a pair of program records during his first season. The most recent came when Nicholson was named the A-10 Rookie of the Week for the sixth time, besting the program record set by alvin lott in 1983-84. earlier this season at Bucknell, Nicholson broke the school record with nine blocked shots during the double-overtime win. The original block record was set by Caswell Cyrus in 1998 against Siena. At Dayton, junior chriS matthewS tied the school record for three-pointers in a game with his 8-for-17 performance from long range. Matthews' eight trifectas mark the sixth time in program history the feat had been ac-complished.

road warriorSAfter winning one road game last year and just five over the previous three seasons, St. Bonaventure has posted a 7-6 mark in true road games this season. The Bonnies have out-rebounded nine road opponents for a +5.2 margin and have finished with a 47 percent shooting clip or better in seven of those games. St. Bonaventure has taken a lead into the locker room six times, including a quartet of double figure advantages. The team's seven consecutive wins on the road to start the season is a school record, besting the start set by the 1967-68 NCAA Tournament team. St. Bonaventure's seven true road wins ties the single-season record set by the 2001-02 team, while the 1969-70 NCAA Final Four squad owns the record for most wins away from home in a season with 12.

licenSe to StealSophomore malcolm eleBY registered a career-high six steals at Temple on Feb. 22, the most by a Bonnie in over a 139-game stretch. eleby leads the team with 41 thefts on the season, ranking him in 13th place among the A-10 leaders at 1.41 per game. eleby has at least one steal in 23 games and 10 contests with two or more.

looK out BelowFreshman andrew nicholSon has made his presence felt around the rim all season. Nicholson's 79 blocks are highly-touted, but the 6-foot-9 forward also leads the team with 34 dunks.

BalancinG actSt. Bonaventure's balanced scoring and rebounding attack is sure to give its oppo-nents fits in the film room. The Brown and White have five players averaging at least 8.4 points and six that are averaging at least 3.4 boards per game. Through 29 games, a total of eight different players have led St. Bonaventure in either scoring, rebounding or assists in a game. The Bonnies have received 12 20-point efforts from five different players. Those scoring outbursts have come over 12 different games. All five starters hit for double-digit points in the team's win at Fordham and against uMass, and the Bonnies are 7-3 when at least four players accomplish the feat. eight different players have scored in double figures this season, while all 10 players have had at least seven points in a game.

Bench PointSThe increase in overall depth at every position has helped the Bona bench out-score the opposition in 22 games. The bench has provided head coach marK Schmidt with 30 or more points four times and at least 20 points in 17 games, highlighted by a season-high 36 against Canisius. Through 29 games, the Bonnies are receiving 20.7 points and 14.7 rebounds per contest from the bench. Over the seven games junior point guard raY BlacKBurn has missed due to injury the Bona bench has failed to out-score the opposition, but has done so in all 22 games he has played in. Blackburn has eight double figure games off the bench, including two 20-point efforts, en route to 8.4 points per game. The team's leading scorer has come from the bench on seven occasions, while it has also supplied a double figure scorer in 17 games, including three 20-point performances. A total of six different players have scored double figure points off the bench.

BONNIES VS. THE A-10lean inSt. Bonaventure has made huge strides under second-year head coach marK Schmidt. With seven new faces on this year's roster, Schmidt stressed the importance of getting his players to play as a team. The team adopted the motto of "Lean In" and wear wristbands with the motto on them. Schmidt has done some of the best work of his eight-year head coaching career this season and has the Bonnies in the Atlantic 10 Tournament for the first time since 2005. Below is a look at some statistical improve-ments St. Bonaventure has made from last season to now and some of the significant accomplishments throughout the season.

The Brown and White's 7-0 road start was a program record to begin a • season and the longest road win streak in a single season.The seven road wins ties the single-season program record set in 2001-02.• St. Bonaventure's nine non-conference wins were the most since 2001-02. • St. Bonaventure earned the championship of the Garden State Classic at • the beginning of the year with its win over Rutgers. Both teams finished the tournament with 3-1 records, but the Bonnies won the head-to-head match.The team's win over Rutgers was the program's first over a Big East school • since Dec. 28, 2000, when it won at Connecticut.The Bonnies' four-game win streak to start December was the program's • first since the 2001-02 campaign, while their two win streaks of three or more games are the first since that same season.The team's win at Fordham snapped a nine-game losing streak at historic • Rose Hill Gymnasium and put an end to the Bonnies eight-game losing streak in A-10 road openers.The win at Richmond gave the Bonnies its first back-to-back road wins in • A-10 play since 2001-02 and marked the first time since 1999-2000 they've won their first two A-10 road contests.Second-year head coach Mark Schmidt picked up his 100th career win at • Fordham. The most wins by a second-year head coach in St. Bonaventure history is 18, set by eddie Melvin in 1948-49 and Jim O'Brien in 1983-84.Freshman Andrew Nicholson was named the program's first Atlantic 10 • Rookie of the year and is just the eighth player in school history to make the All-Rookie team.

GAME #3 - Garden State ChallengeST. BONAVENTURE 81Delaware 85Nov. 21, 2008 at the RAC

PiScatawaY, n.j. - Alphonso Dawson scored 21 second half points on a perfect 9-of-9 from the field as Delaware held on to hand St. Bonaventure its first loss of the season, 85-81, on Friday night at the RAC on the campus of Rutgers university in the Garden State Challenge. Dawson finished with a game-high 26 points, out-dueling Bona junior jonathan hall (pictured), who had 24. Like Dawson, Hall did a majority of his damage in the second half, scoring 17 points on 8-of-10 from the floor. The Blue Hens first victory of the season was aided by a 50 percent (29-58) shooting clip from the field, highlighted by 11-of-21 from three-point range. Hidden in the Bonnies stellar 54 percent (34-63) night from the field was a 24 percent clip (4-17) from long range and a 9-of-21 performance at the free throw line. Hall scored 7 of the team's final 11 points en route to his season-high 24 points. The Miami, Fla. product sank 11-of-15 shots from the field and handed out four assists.

Freshman andrew nicholSon flushed in three more dunks to go 6-of-10 from the field for 14 points while adding six boards. St. Bonaventure held a slight 37-36 advantage on the boards, but was hampered by 29 fouls that resulted in 30 Delaware foul shots.

GAME #4 - Garden State ChallengeRutgers 63ST. BONAVENTURE 64Nov. 23, 2008 at the RAC

PiScatawaY, n.j. - In a game that featured 22 ties and 18 lead changes, the St. Bonaventure men's basketball team turned in its gutsiest effort in recent history as it outlasted Big east foe Rutgers 64-63 on Sunday afternoon the RAC. With the win, the Bonnies claim the title of the Garden State Challenge. The win is the first for the Bonnies over a Big east team since 2001 as they move to 3-1 on the young season. The 3-1 mark to open the season is St. Bonaventure's best since the 2001-02 season. The loss is the first of the season for the Scarlet Knights. After it watched its four-point lead evaporate in the final seconds of regulation, St. Bonaventure got down by four in the opening minute of the overtime frame, 62-58.

GAME #6Canisius 68ST. BONAVENTURE 66Nov. 29, 2008 at HSBC Arena

BuFFalo, n.Y. - you'd think after 157 meetings between St. Bonaventure and Canisius that eventually one game would play out like another. On Saturday night at HSBC Arena, the annual rivalry was just as intense as the 156 prior to it, but totally unique, as Julius Coles buried a three-pointer from the left wing with 5.4 seconds remaining to vault the Golden Griffins to a dramatic 68-66 win over the Bonnies. After trailing for the first 15 minutes of the second half, the Brown and White rallied to build a 66-61 lead with just 32 seconds remaining. Canisius climbed right back into the contest with four points from junior Frank Turner on its next possession to make it a one-point game, 66-65 with 24 seconds left. Turner's first point came at the free throw line then Griffs got the rebound and kicked it back out to Turner for the three-pointer. Now forced to foul, Canisius didn't have to as junior Ray Blackburn's cross-court pass sailed to high and out of bounds, giving possession back to the Golden Griffins. Canisius took full advantage of the Bona miscue, as Turner found Coles for the game-winning shot. Junior maurice thomaS (pictured) posted his first double-double as a Bonnies and third of his career with a career-best 22 points and 12 rebounds. Thomas scored 19 of his game-high 22 in the first half.

St. Bonaventure, n.Y. - A blistering 54 percent night from the field and 44 points in the paint helped #15/#13 Xavier cruise to an 84-64 Atlantic 10 win over St. Bonaventure on Wednesday evening in front of a raucous crowd of 5,221 at the Reilly Center.

PittSBurGh, Pa. - A 29-point and 12-rebound performance from freshman andrew nicholSon (pictured) wasn't enough, as St. Bonaventure proved to be its own worst enemy during a 74-68 Atlantic 10 loss at Duquesne Saturday night at the Palumbo Center. Despite committing a season-high 31 turnovers, the Bonnies led 68-66 with 2:44 remaining. The giveaways reoccurred, though, down the stretch for the visitors, as four turnovers over their final six possessions allowed the Duke's to score the final eight points of the game to steal the win.

Senior Aaron Jackson led four Dukes in double figures with 19 points over a full 40 minutes of work. Sophomore Bill Clark added 17 points, while freshman point guard eric evans had 10 points in the second half to finish with 14.

waShinGton, d.c. - Behind a season-high 26 points by senior Rob Diggs and torrid first half shooting performance, George Washington cruised to a 90-62 wire-to-wire Atlantic 10 victory over St. Bonaventure late Thursday night at the Smith Center. The Colonials stormed out of the gates and never looked back, as they jumped out a 47-28 halftime lead on the strength of a 70 percent (19-27) shooting clip over the first 20 minutes. The Bonnies never threatened after that, as the 90 points scored by GW was a season-high. Diggs poured in 17 of his 26 in the first half to help George Washington pick up its second win in the last 15 contests. Diggs' 11-of-15 performance from the field and team season-best 23 assists aided the Colonials' 57 percent (33-58) clip for the game. One of the few bright spots for the Brown and White was the play of freshman michael davenPort (pictured). A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Davenport scored a team-high 16 points, all of which came in the second half, on 7-of-12 from the field and grabbed a season-high seven rebounds. Sophomore point guard malcolm eleBY (pictured) was the only other Bonnie in double figures with 11 points. Four players finished in double figures for George Washington, led by Diggs' 26 points. Junior Damian Hollis, the son of former Bona legend essie Hollis, scored 12 points and tied for the team-high with eight caroms.

GAME #26Temple 70ST. BONAVENTURE 56Feb. 22, 2009 at the Liacouras Center

St. Bonaventure, n.Y. - In a game that featured 41 combined fouls, Temple's big first half proved to be enough, as it held off a second half push by St. Bonaventure for a 70-56 Atlantic 10 victory Sunday afternoon at the Liacouras Center. unfortunately, for the Bonnies, 27 of the fouls went against them, leading to 17 more free throw attempts for the Owls. Temple made good on 18-of-27 from the charity stripe, while the Brown and White made just 5-of-10 for the second consecutive game. Lost in the physical play was a pair of sensational games turned in by a pair of sophomores. Temple forward Lavoy Allen finished with a game-high 20 points and added a career-high 18 rebounds, including 14 in the opening 20 minutes. Allen also finished a perfect 8-of-8 from the field en route to his 10th double-double of the season. Sophomore point guard malcolm eleBY (pictured) continued his strong play, doing so in front of a large group of family and friends. A native of Philadelphia, Eleby finished in double figures for the fifth consecutive game with 14 points, six assists, a career-high six steals and four rebounds. eleby's six steals are the most by a Bonnie since Marques Green had seven, oddly enough, in Philadelphia against Saint Joseph's in 2004 - a span of 139 games. Junior chriS matthewS, who didn't start for the first time this season, scored a team-high 15 points off the bench. Hall contributed nine points and seven boards before fouling out.

St. Bonaventure, n.Y. - Junior jonathan hall (pictured) scored a season-high 31 points and St. Bonaventure turned in arguably its best defensive effort of the season en route to a convincing 72-55 Atlantic 10 win over Saint Louis Wednesday evening at the Reilly Center. Hall's career night came on 11-of-15 shooting from the field and 9-of-13 from the free throw line. The Miami, Fla., product tallied 18 of the team's 32 first half points, while adding seven rebounds and a team-best four assists over 39 minutes. Hall is the first Bonnie to score 30+ points in a game since Zarryon Fereti scored 32 in the season-opener last season. Slightly overshadowed by Hall's big game was the Bonnies stellar play on the defensive end. St. Bonaventure limited Saint Louis to just six field goals in the first half, giving up just 21 points. The Billikens then managed just 11 field goals over the final 20 minutes, as they shot just 36 percent (17-47) from the field, including 24 percent (4-17) from long range. It marked the fifth time this season the Bonnies have held a team to 60 points or less and the first time in A-10 action. St. Bonaventure was also extremely efficient on the offensive end, passing out 17 assists while committing a season-low 10 turnovers. The Brown and White bested 50 percent from the field for the fifth time this year, going 25-of-49 from the floor, while holding a 39-28 edge on the boards.

Nivins sank 7-of-9 from the floor and 8-of-11 from the free throw line while playing his usual 39 minutes.

Three players finished in double figures for the Bonnies, led by junior chriS matthewS' (pictured) 15 points. All 15 of Matthews' points came from beyond the arc, as the Washington, D.C. native moved in fourth place on the single-season charts with 76 trifectas.
