The narrow win for the Billikens at Duquesne earlier this week might be more the way things look the rest of the way in the A-10, as ranked SLU now wears a bigger target. This was a close game in St. Louis last season and despite a slow start in league play, Mark Schmidt's Bona cannot be overlooked. The Bonnies finally got in the win column against Loyola earlier this week after five combative, single-digit losses, still shoot 3s fairly effectively (37.3%), and have a couple of legit go-to threats in bullish 6-8 ex-Minnesota PF Frank Mitchell (17.3 ppg) and Gardner-Webb transfer G Darryl Simmons II (15.6 ppg; 26 vs. Loyola). Schmidt has set traps like this before in Olean. Play St Bonaventure.
