The Bonnies will face Bradley on November 3rd at the Rock Hill Events Center as part of the Field of 68 Opening Day Marathon. The game is scheduled for 11 a.m. ET and will be streamed on the Field of 68 YouTube channel &ref=yanuki.com and X (formerly Twitter) account &ref=yanuki.com.
St. Bonaventure defeated Alfred in an exhibition game, showcasing a strong offense with five players scoring in double figures.
Bradley had a successful 28-9 season last year, ranking as one of the nation's top three-point shooting teams. However, they face roster turnover, returning only a fraction of their previous year's scoring.
The Bonnies have 11 new players, including seven transfers and four international freshmen, making this a virtually new team.
Betting odds favor Bradley by -1.5 points, but analysts suggest St. Bonaventure is undervalued and has a good chance to win.
St. Bonaventure Bonnies:
The Bonnies have undergone a significant transformation with 11 new players joining the squad. Coach Mark Schmidt aims to integrate these new faces quickly, focusing on a more well-rounded team. Key additions include transfers from various divisions and international players from Russia, Ireland, and Italy. The team's offense looks to improve significantly with the inclusion of guards like Darryl Simmons II and Amar'e Marshall.
Bradley Braves:
Bradley looks to sustain its success from last season, despite losing key shooters. Coach Brian Wardle will rely on new players to step up and fill the scoring void. The team's interior presence remains strong, but questions linger about their three-point shooting capabilities.
The game will likely hinge on St. Bonaventure's ability to contain Bradley's interior players and exploit their own improved guard play. The Bonnies' defense, particularly the ability of their frontcourt to limit Corey Thomas, will be crucial. For Bradley, finding consistent outside shooting will be key to stretching the Bonnies' defense.
St. Bonaventure's influx of new talent includes: Dasonte Bowen (Iowa), Xander Wedlow (Detroit University Prep), Frank Mitchell (Minnesota, Canisius, Humber), Joe Grahovac (Fullerton), Cayden Charles (North Georgia), Darrell Simmons II (Gardner-Webb), Brayden Jackson (University at Buffalo), Daniel Egbuniwe (Tennessee Tech, Little Rock) and Amar’e Marshall (Albany, Hofstra). Foreign national players include: Andrew Usasuyi (Magenta, Italy), Achille Lonati (Pavia, Italy), John Ikpotokin (Dublin, Ireland) and Ilia Ermakov (Kursk, Russia).
