NIT

Also having watched enough UVA, St. Bonnie is a better team, better personnel. UVA, with the exception of Gardner (Beekman has potential) is completely average. Even the genius of Tony Bennett couldn't coach that talent up.

Well, if I told you before the season the Bonnies would play the last game of an A10 team you would have believed me. Just wouldn’t have thought it would be the NIT.

Happy for them and awesome to see them make this run. I hope they finish the whole thing off

I believe they took down 3 P5 teams all on the road?

the genius of Tony Bennett assembled that talent.

Perhaps, the National Championship recruiting bump has worn off.

That is the thing that really surprised me, it seems like the talent level dropped off substantially this year at Virginia. He still was able to beat K and his FOUR 1st rounders at Cameron, and play him close at home, but watching UVA it seemed like they just did not have guys that could make shots.

Maybe Bonas will make a play for Rob Lanier at Georgia State. He's a SBU grad, the A-10 is a better league than the Sun Belt, and he can probably make more money at SBU than at Georgia State. SBU great Bob Lanier is his cousin.

UVA fans unhappy - here is link from Duke perspective. A .730 winning percentage for Bennett and a national championship - what's not to like?

We will trade Mooney for Bennett and give up 5 years of draft picks. Bennett is the best they will ever get. He makes chicken salad out of 💩.
Half the women in the stands are there because of him.

Good for Schmidt and I think most of his super seniors will be returning so he should have another good season.

Bennett has reinforcements on the way. UVa will be fine. Bennett is a hell of a coach.

Are the Bonnies the reason this may be the last 3 NIT games at MSG ever?

Rooting hard for the Bonnie’s - crazy road travels and wins they had to get thru - drank a few two many beverages with a Bonnie crew after URI game in DC and they like us and don’t like the teams we don’t like

very cool - heard alumni raised 48K to fund this voyage ... On a side note, had no idea how small Bonnie was until I iooked this week. 1850 undergrad and an endowment under $75 million.

 

[SpiderK]

That is truly awesome. We couldn’t get 400 of our studies to travel all the way to the Siegel Center.

Things not going so well for the Bona students...

Rebounding dooms Bonnies -12

Too big of a deficit in the first half and although second half offense was much better not enough defense results in the Bonnies losing..............
