up nEXt: at MarshallSaturday, Jan. 2 @ 2 p.m.

atAGlancESt. Bonaventure will close the book on 2009 by hosting its oldest rival Canisius at the Reilly Center in the 158th meeting between the two schools. The Bonnies will look to put an end to their current two-game skid and a three-game slide against Little 3 opponents after dropping a tough 77-71 decision at Niagara before Christmas break. St. Bonaventure has enjoyed the friendly confines of the Reilly Center as of late, win-ning its last eight games at home.

all-timESERIESThe 158th meeting will have a lot to live up to after last year's game featured 13 lead changes before Canisius' Julius Coles knocked down the game-winning three-pointer with 5.4 seconds to go. St. Bo-naventure owns a 94-63 edge in the all-time series, including a 27-5 mark at the Reilly Center. The Bonnies won the first 24 meet-ings at the RC, but the Griffs have won five out of the last eight on the Bonnies' home court. Other than a three-year hiatus in the early 40s and the 2001-02 season, the Bon-nies and Griffs have met every season since 1919.

thisDAyinBONABaskEtBallSt. Bonaventure is 9-7 all-time when playing on December 30, dating back to the 1975-76 season in the Bona record books - the final season that has actual dates recorded. This will be the Brown and White's fourth straight year with a game on Dec. 30. Last year, the Bonnies survived double-overtime to defeat Bucknell 90-82. Then-freshman Andrew nicholson had 22 points, eight rebounds and a school record nine blocks in the win. The Bonnies and Griffs have squared off twice on Dec. 30, with Canisius coming away victorious in the last meeting in 2000 at the Reilly Center.

scoutinG thE GriFFsWinners of two straight at the Southern Miss Christmas Classic, Canisius enters tonight's game with a 6-6 overall record. Defense fueled the Griffs two wins down south, as they held their last two opponents to an average of 52.0 points. Canisius is also an im-pressive 5-0 when holding the opposition to under percent from the field. This will be the Griffs sixth true road game and their ninth game overall away from their home arena. A win against St. Bonaventure would equal Canisius' season-long three-game win streak. Leading the way is senior Frank Turner, who comes in as the MAAC's leading scorer at 17.7 points per game. The 5-foot-10 Atlantic City native finished in double figures in the team's first 11 games, highlighted by a career-high 30 points in a win over Southern Miss. Turner does more than just score, as he is just nine assists shy of 500 for his career, while also leading the MAAC in steals (28). Junior Julius Coles continues to build off his breakout sophomore campaign and ranks fifth in the MAAC in scoring (15.4). Coles hit the game-winning three-pointer with 5.4 seconds remaining in last year's contest vs. the Bonnies.

Do it all hallAfter becoming just the second player in program history to lead the team in points, rebounds and assists in the same year, senior JonAthAn hAll is quietly putting together another solid season. Hall ranks in the top three on the club in nearly every statistical category; points (11.8/3rd), rebounds (4.5/2nd), assists (3.1/2nd), steals (15/2nd), blocks (4/2nd) and field goal percentage (.564/2nd). The Miami, Fla. native has scored in double figures a team-best 10 times, while leading the way on the backboard five times, including the last three games. Last game at Niagara, Hall recorded his fourth career double-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.

thE cn towErSophomore Andrew nicholson is the center of attention for opposing teams. That hasn't stopped the reigning Atlantic 10 Rookie of the year from avoiding a sophomore slump, as the Canadian big man leads the team in both scoring (16.4) and rebounding (7.2). Nicholson leads the A-10 with a 65.5 percent (74-113) field goal percentage and is one of two players to rank in top 10 in the conference in both scoring (8th) and rebound-ing (8th). Nicholson poured in a game-high 26 points on 11-of-15 from the field against St. John's and then equaled a career-high with 29 points and a career-best 14 boards against Norfolk State. He has a team-high three 20-point games this season. Nicholson has led the team in scoring seven times, including four straight, and rebounding five times this season, including both in the same game on four occasions.

homE cookinGWith a 4-0 mark this season, St. Bonaventure has extended its home Reilly Center win streak to eight games - the longest since a 10-game streak that stretched from the end of the 2000-01 season (3 games) to the start of the 2001-02 campaign (7 games). The Bonnies closed last season on a four-game A-10 home win streak. Over the eight-game win streak, the Bonnies have out-scored their opponents by 14.4 points per game and have shot over 50 percent in six of the eight games for a cumulative 51 percent clip (217-423). Senior JonAthAn hAll is averaging 15.0 points during the home win streak. Hall has a 30-point and 20-point effort during the run. Sophomore Andrew nicholson (12.9) and senior chris MAtthews (12.0) are also averaging double figure points during the win streak.

soFt touchWho says big men can't shoot? According to the most recent NCAA statistics, sophomore Andrew nicholson is one of two players in the nation shooting 60 percent or better from the field and at least 80 percent from the free throw line. To be eli-gible for the rankings, the player has to make five field goals per game and an average of 2.5 free throws per contest. The 6-foot-9 second-year forward connected on his last 12 shots from the charity stripe and ranks third in the A-10 in free throw percentage (.842). He also leads the conference in field goal percentage (.655) after finishing second in 2008-09 and is 34 of his last 46 from the field over the past four games. Nicholson is joined by Lafayette's Jared Mintz on the exclusive list as of Dec. 20.

BonniEs Drop hEartBrEakEr at rival niaGara (Box score & Full recap on Page 33)lewiston, n.Y. - In a second half that featured 13 lead changes and five ties it was host Niagara that pulled away in the final 20 minutes for a dramatic 77-71 comeback win over St. Bonaventure in front a capacity crowd of 2,400 fans Tuesday night at “Taps” Gallagher Center. The 150th meeting between the two tradition-rich programs would have made the originators of this Little 3 rivalry proud, as both teams produced stellar 20-minute efforts. Unfortunately, for the Bonnies, theirs was in the first half. Despite trail-ing by 16, 41-25, at the break, Niagara opened the final frame on a game-altering 19-2 run that gave the Purple Eagles their first lead since the opening minute of the half. All 13 of the second half lead changes came over a nine-minute span that was capped by a pair of three-pointers from Demetrius Williamson that gave the home team the lead for good. Niagara out-scored the Bonnies 52-30 in the second half. Sophomore Andrew nicholson dominated the paint, but was limited to just 16 minutes due to foul trou-ble in both halves. Nicholson finished with a game-high 24 points and seven rebounds. The 6-foot-9 forward connected on 10-of-14 from the field, highlighted by seven dunks.

2009-10 Bonnies Trends

thE cincinnati kiDAfter a freshman season in which he averaged 3.3 points and played sparingly, Mi-chAel dAvenPort has shown major progress in his sophomore campaign. After scoring in double figures one time as a freshman, the Cincinnati, Ohio product has already produced four double-digit efforts this season. Davenport began his second season in style, scoring a career-high 19 points on 7-of-10 from the field off the bench. Davenport is fourth on the team in scoring (8.5), second in assists (33) and third in re-bounding (3.3). After coming off the bench over the first seven contests, Davenport has made four consecutive starts.

paintinG thE town BrownSt. Bonaventure has been extremely efficient on offense this season. The Bonnies have shot 50 percent or better in seven of the 11 games and are shooting at an impressive 50.2 percent clip (305-608) for the year - the fifth-best percentage in the nation. The easy buckets around the rim have led to a 404-352 edge in points in the paint. The 404 points in the paint account for 51 percent of the team's offense this season and 36.7 points per game. St. Bonaventure finished with a 50 percent shooting percentage or better just eight times over two previous seasons.

point GuarD BY committEEJust like the early part of last year, head coach MArk schMidt has opted to use a pair of players to occupy the point guard position. Juniors ogo AdegBoYe and MAlcolM eleBY make up the Bona floor generals, combining to average 12.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. Eleby has made 41 straight starts at point guard, while Adegboye is in his first season after transferring from Lamar CC (Colo.). A more physical point guard at 6-foot-3, Eleby has led the team in assists seven times and ranks third in the A-10 at 4.5 helpers per game. Adegboye's breakout came at Missis-sippi State when he scored a team-high 13 points.


CURRENT BONNIES IN THESINGLE-SEASON RECORDS

racE to 100After producing the third-best blocked shot total in school history as a freshman, An-drew nicholson is now trying to become just the third player in program history to reach 100 career blocks. Nicholson currently stands at 97 rejections through 41 ca-reer games. All-time shot block leader cAswell cYrus accomplished the feat in 36 games. Cyrus' 100th career block came in the 12th game of his sophomore year when he set the then-school record with eight blocks vs. Siena. Nicholson tied the record last year vs. Princeton and then broke it three games later at Bucknell with nine blocks. Nicholson is currently ninth in the Atlantic 10 at 1.5 blocks per game.

lEnDinG a hElpinG hanDPartial credit for St. Bonaventure's sensational shooting percentage is its improve-ment in passing the ball. The Bonnies currently lead the A-10 in assists per game at 16.2, a figure that ranks 31st in the nation. As a team, St. Bonaventure has passed out an assist on 58 percent of its field goals, including a season-best 26 against Norfolk State. Junior point guard MAlcolM eleBY ranks third in the A-10 at 4.5 per game and has led the team in assists six times. Sophomore MichAel dAvenPort passed out a team season-high and career-best eight assists in the win over Norfolk State. As a team, the Bonnies have had 15 or more assists in eight games and a pair of contests with 20 or more helpers.

thE Dunk tankArmed with more athleticism and depth, St. Bonaventure's eye-opening 77 percent shooting percentage in the first half in its season-opening win over Cleveland State was fueled by a plethora of dunks and layups. The easy buck-ets have led to 404 points in the paint so far this season. Sophomore An-drew nicholson's 23 dunks so far this season are more than half of the team's 38. Last season, Nicholson led the team with 37 dunks. Here's how the Bonnies stack up this season.

20/20 visionDuring the team's 98-71 blowout win over Norfolk State at the BTI Classic, sophomore Andrew nicholson and senior chris MAtthews became the first duo since 2007-08 to score 20 points in the same game. Nicholson equaled a career-high with 29 points, while Matthews drilled six three-pointers en route to 21 points. The last duo to score 20 points in the same game was MichAel lee and tYler relPh on senior day against Dayton in 2008. Lee and senior ZArrYon Fereti also scored 20 points in the same game three times that season. Nicholson leads the team with three 20-point games, while Matthews has one and senior JonAthAn hAll has the other.

licEnsE to stEalJunior MAlcolM eleBY's ability to play multiple guard positions is thanks in large to ability to play defense. The Philadelphia, Pa. native led the Brown and White in steals last season with 42 and is off to another good start on the defensive end. Eleby has registered six multi-steal games bringing his career total to 20. Eleby has a steal in 10 games this year and in 33 of his last 41 contests since becoming the starting point guard.

EarlY sEason harDwarEBoth senior chris MAtthews and sophomore Andrew nicholson earned All-Tournament honors at the Basketball Travelers Classic at the end of November. Matthews buried 18 three-pointers over the three games, while Nicholson averaged 22 points and 13 rebounds over the first two games. On the final day of the tournament, Nicholson was named the A-10 Co-Player of the Week after his performance in the opening two games.

HEADCOACHMARKSCHMIDT


Bio With his blue collar work ethic now installed in the program, third-year head coach Mark Schmidt will con-tinue his revival of St. Bonaventure basketball in 2009-10. Schmidt took over the tradition-rich program on April 10, 2007, becoming the 19th head coach in school history. In just two short years, Schmidt and the Bonnies have re-energized the Bona faithful and basketball-passionate Western New york community. In 2008-09, St. Bonaventure finished with a 15-15 overall record – the program’s best mark in the last six years. Included in that season was a program record seven consecutive road wins to start the season and the program’s first trip back to the Atlantic 10 Tournament since 2005. Team team’s seven true road wins also tied the record set by the 2001-02 club.

Key to the quick turnaround in 2008-09 was the team’s ability to buy into Schmidt’s emphasis on playing hard for 40 minutes. That philosophy paid big dividends, as the Bonnies out-rebounded 22 of their 30 opponents en route to ranking in the top five in the conference in all three major rebounding statistics. Also a direct result of Schmidt’s style of play was the team’s 70.8 points per game – the most by a Bonaventure team since 2002-03. During the 2008-09 season, freshman Andrew Nichol-son was named the A-10 Rookie of the year and a Fresh-man All-American by CollegeHoopsNet.com. Nicholson is the third player in Schmidt’s eight-year head coaching career to win a conference Rookie of the year accolade. Junior Jonathan Hall also flourished under Schmidt’s run-and-gun style, becoming the second player in program history to lead the team in points, rebounds and assists in the same season.

Additionally, Schmidt achieved a personal milestone of his own midway through the season, as he earned his 100th career win in the team’s 78-65 win at Fordham in the A-10 opener. Schmidt’s intense personality rubbed off on everyone involved with the program in his first season, including the senior class of Zarryon Fereti, Michael Lee and Tyler Relph who flourished under just one season of Schmidt’s guidance. All three posted career years on the court and experienced success of the court by graduating in May. Both Fereti and Lee worked their way into the profes-sional ranks overseas, while Relph finished as the NCAA leader in free throw percentage. Schmidt served as the head coach at Robert Morris for six seasons prior to coming to St. Bonaventure. There, he inherited a program that had managed just a 7-22 record in the season before his arrival. Schmidt quickly turned things around, leading the Colonials to the North-east Conference Tournament semifinals in 2004 and 2006. During his six seasons at RMU, he had an overall record of 82-90, including a 15-14 mark in 2005-06, the program's first winning season since 2000. Schmidt turned the Colo-nials into a year-in and year-out contender in the confer-ence, posting a 58-52 mark in league play highlighted by four seasons of 10 or more league wins. Schmidt coached six NEC All-Conference players at RMU, along with three All-Rookie team selections and one Conference Rookie of the year in Jeremy Chappell in 2006. Over the last two seasons, Schmidt saw his former recruit Tony Lee and Chappell garner back-to-back NEC Player of the year accolades in 2008 and 2009, respec-tively. Prior to Robert Morris, Schmidt spent seven seasons as an assistant coach at Xavier University under head coach Skip Prosser. Schmidt served as the program's top recruiter, landing future NBA players Torraye Braggs (Houston Rockets), Lionel Chalmers (Minnesota Timber-wolves), James Posey (Miami Heat), Romain Sato (San An-tonio Spurs) and David West (New Orleans Hornets). With most of his coaching responsibilities centered around the post players, Schmidt helped develop West into a three-time Atlantic 10 Player of the year and the National Player of the year in 2003. During his stay in Cincinnati, Ohio, Schmidt helped lead the Musketeers to four NCAA Tournament appear-ances and the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) twice. Xavier claimed its first-ever Atlantic 10 West Di-vision title in 1996-97 and both the West Division and


tournament championships in 1997-98. In 1997, Xavier defeated Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA Tour-nament and finished the season with the school's highest Associated Press ranking at No. 13. The Musketeers made it to the NIT Final Four at Madison Square Garden in 1999, finishing third, the school's best finish since 1958. Schmidt served as an assistant under Prosser at Loy-ola College during the 1993-94 season. He helped guide the Greyhounds to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament title and the school's first-ever NCAA Tour-nament berth. From 1991-93, Schmidt was an assistant at Penn State University under Bruce Parkhill. The Nittany Lions went 21-8 in 1992 and appeared in the NIT. Schmidt's coaching career began with a two-year stint as an assistant at St. Michael's College in Vermont. Schmidt played four seasons at Boston College, where he received his bachelor's degree in business administration and management with a concentration in marketing. In his freshman season under head coach Tom Davis, the Eagles went 22-10 and made the NCAA Elite Eight. Schmidt played his final three years under the guidance of head coach Gary Williams. Boston College advanced to the NIT in 1984 and the NCAA Sweet Sixteen the other two years. A native of North Attleboro, Mass., Schmidt and his wife Anita have three sons, Nicholas (14), Derek (12) and Michael (9).

Game #1ST. BONAveNTURe 72Cleveland State 62Nov. 13, 2009 at the Reilly Center

st. BonavEnturE, n.Y. - St. Bonaventure jumped out to a 18-point halftime lead and never looked back as it cruised to a 72-62 season-opening win over defending Horizon League Tournament champ Cleveland State on Friday night at the Reilly Center. The opening 20 minutes looked like anything but the Brown and White’s first half of the season, as their 41-22 advantage at the half brought the crowd of 4,860 fans to their feet. St. Bonaventure was sharp on the offensive end, shooting an unheard-of 77 percent from the floor over the opening 20 minutes. “I thought we played a terrific first half and got out to a great start shooting 77 percent from the field,” said head coach MArk schMidt. “That was the best half of basketball from both an offensive and defensive standpoint that we’ve had in a long time.” The Bonnies received a trio of big performances, led by senior JonAthAn hAll’s game-high 20 points that came on 10-of-14 from the field to go along with a team-best eight rebounds. Sophomore Andrew nicholson contributed 17 points, including 14 in the first half, while adding seven boards and four blocks. The surprise game came from sophomore MichAel dAvenPort (pictured) who came off the bench and established a new career-high with 19 points on 7-of-10 from the field in 28 minutes of work. Led by Davenport, the Bona bench out-scored Cleveland State’s reserves by a 25-9 margin.

Game #2St. John's 69ST. BONAveNTURe 68Nov. 17, 2009 at Blue Cross Arena

rochEstEr, n.Y. - After erasing a late seven-point deficit over the final three minutes, St. Bonaventure watched its lead evaporate with just six seconds remaining as Malik Boothe sank a pair of free throws to send St. John's to a thrilling 69-68 win on Tuesday night at Blue Cross Arena. Sophomore Andrew nicholson (pictured) made good on his two free throw attempts with just 11 seconds to go, giving the Bonnies their first lead, 68-67, since the 18:05 mark early in the half. Boothe then broke the Brown and White's full court pressure and was fouled going to the rim resulting in the two free throws. St. Bonaventure did get a good look in its final shot, but sophomore MichAel dAvenPort's three-pointer from the top of the key caromed off the back of the rim as the buzzer sounded. The back-and-forth game featured 10 lead changes and nine ties, as both team's enjoyed good nights on the offensive end. The Bonnies finished above the 50 percent plateau for the second straight game, connecting on 26-of-46 from the field. St. John's shot 54 percent , but made eight three-pointers to the Bonnies' one. The Bonnies out-scored St. John's by a 44-30 margin in the paint. The major reason for that advantage down low was the play of Nicholson, who led all scorers with 26 points despite missing the final nine minutes of the first half due to foul trouble. Nicholson finished 11-of-15 of the field and scored 17 points in the second half.

BonavEnturE, n.Y. - A 35-6 run that stretched from the end of the first half through the opening 12 minutes of the second half helped St. Bonaventure shake off a slow start en route to a 66-40 win over Binghamton on Friday night at the Reilly Center. The 40 points giving up is the best defensive effort since Jan. 7, 1995, when the Brown and White held Appalachian State to 32 points at the Reilly Center.

The win moves the Bonnies to 2-1 on the season, heading into next week’s three-game stint at the BTI Classic hosted by Illinois State. The Bearcats, on the other hand, fall to 1-2 with the loss. Just two players finished in double figures for the Brown and White, as 11 of the 12 players who got into the game registered a bucket. Senior JonAthAn hAll (pictured) led the way with 12 points, while sophomore MichAel dAvenPort finished with 10 points that to a pair of three-pointers. St. Bonaventure built a commanding 43-24 on the glass thanks to a season-best 16 rebounds on the offensive glass.

Game #10#5 Syracuse 85ST. BONAveNTURe 72Dec. 19, 2009 at the Carrier Dome

sYracusE, n.Y. - Despite a despite a gutsy effort for the full 40 minutes, St. Bonaventure couldn’t overcome a 19-4 run that stretched from the end of the first half to the start of the second half as #5/#5 Syracuse came away with a 85-72 win on Saturday night in front of 20,578 fans at the Carrier Dome. The loss snaps a two-game win streak for the Bonnies, who fall to 6-4. The win improved Syracuse to a perfect 11-0. Sophomore Andrew nicholson led the way in the scoring department for the sixth time this season with a game-high 18 points on 9-of-10 from the field to go along with five rebounds. Senior chris MAtthews (pictured) finished with 17 points on four three-pointers, while all 10 of senior JonAthAn hAll’s points came in the second half after first half foul trouble. Along with the late run in the first half and the early second half push, the other difference in the game came at the free throw line where Syracuse made 15-of-26 compared to the Brown and White’s 6-of-12. Fouls plagued the Bonnies at the guard position, as MichAel dAvenPort and Hall missed considerable time. A big reason for the Bona foul trouble was the physical inside play of Syracuse junior Rick Jackson. The 6-foot-9, 240-lb. forward finished 8-of-11 from the field en route to an 18-point and 10-rebound night. Wesley Johnson also chipped in a double-double with 17 points and 10 boards.

Game #11Niagara 77ST. BONAveNTURe 71Dec. 22, 2009 at the Gallagher Center

lEwiston, n.Y. - In a second half that featured 13 lead changes and five ties it was host Niagara that pulled away in the final 20 minutes for a dramatic 77-71 comeback win over St. Bonaventure in front a capacity crowd of 2,400 fans Tuesday night at “Taps” Gallagher Center. The 150th meeting between the two tradition-rich programs would have made the originators of this Little 3 rivalry proud, as both teams produced stellar 20-minute efforts. Unfortunately, for the Bonnies, theirs was in the first half. Despite trailing by 16, 41-25, at the break, Niagara opened the final frame on a game-altering 19-2 run that gave the Purple Eagles their first lead since the opening minute of the half. All 13 of the second half lead changes came over a nine-minute span that was capped by a pair of three-pointers from Demetrius Williamson that gave the home team the lead for good. Niagara out-scored the Bonnies 52-30 in the second half. The loss is the second in a row for the Brown and White, who fall to 6-5 on the season. The win extends the Purple Eagle’s winning streak in the series to seven games, as they improve to 8-4. Sophomore sensation Andrew nicholson (pictured) dominated the paint, but was limited to just 16 minutes due to foul trouble in both halves. Nicholson finished with a game-high 24 points and seven rebounds. The 6-foot-9 forward connected on 10-of-14 from the field, highlighted by seven dunks.
