Currently tied for fourth in the conference, the Flyers have a power ranking of 173 and are ranked 149 in offense and 109 in defense. The team averages 76.10 points per game and allows 69.15 points against them. Offensively, they excel in field goal percentage and three-point shooting, while defensively they struggle with opponent field goal and free throw percentages.

St. Bonaventure Bonnies Analysis

The St. Bonaventure Bonnies started the season strong but have recently struggled, losing five of their last six games. They suffered a 75-61 loss to VCU, with all five starters playing heavy minutes and no bench points scored. The team is currently ranked 95th in the KenPom ratings and sits 12th in their conference. Chance Moore leads the team in points, rebounds, and blocks per game. On offense, the Bonnies shoot 45.36% from the field and 32.45% from three-point range, while on defense they allow 41.12% shooting and 33.57% from beyond the arc. Despite their recent setbacks, the team has a solid defense and will look to bounce back in their next game.

St. Bonaventure Faces Tough Challenge Against Resilient Dayton Squad

Despite the home-court advantage, it is difficult to support St. Bonaventure in this matchup. The team has been without Dasonte Bowen, who averaged 11.1 points per game, for their last 11 games, resulting in a significant decrease in bench contributions. In contrast, Dayton has emerged victorious in their last three games and has demonstrated their potential with notable non-conference wins against Northwestern, UConn, and Marquette. Therefore, I am inclined to favor Dayton in this contest.
