St. Bonaventure vs. Florida Gulf Coast Prediction

I’m on the Bonnies here. I just feel like the Bonnies are the more balanced team side-by-side, and the one glaring edge that the Bonnies have is in terms of rebounding as they hit the boards a lot harder than the Eagles do. I think that St. Bonaventure getting those extra possessions will be key here and prove to be the difference as the Bonnies snag the win. Give me St. Bonaventure.
