Lafayette vs St. Bonaventure Prediction

I’m going with the Bonnies but there’s not a whole lot to get excited about in this one. St. Bonaventure has two wins in three games, most recently an 88-64 victory versus Cornell. The Bonnies hit a nice 54 percent from the field in that one with a 48-28 rebounding edge and just eight turnovers. St. Bonaventure allowed just 38 percent shooting on defense but it wasn’t perfect. The Bonnies hit just one 3-point shot (1-of-12 for eight percent) and missed some free throws (19-of-30 for 63 percent) along the way. That said, St. Bonaventure should be able to handle this matchup if all goes well.

As for Lafayette, they’ve been able to win two of their four games so far this year, but the two victories hardly came against marquis competition (King’s and Penn State Lehigh Valley). In their most recent outing versus Penn State Lehigh Valley, Lafayette shot 52 percent from the field with a 53-23 rebounding edge. The Leopards did cough up 16 turnovers though, which has been a recurring theme for them this year. Lafayette has a combined 41 turnovers in their two losses so far.
