The Davidson Wildcats will be in Western New York tonight to take on the St. Bonaventure Bonnies, who have been on a roll. The Bonnies have won 5 in a row and are tough at home, where they are 7-3, averaging 68.1 points per game and surrendering just 58.8. The Wildcats’ road record is nothing to write home about at 3-6, where they are averaging 68.9 points per game and allowing an average of 72. Davidson has won the last 3 meetings with St. Bonaventure so it’s time for the Bonnies to buck the trend. With an electric crowd to back them at Reilly Center and their stingy defense, they should get the job done.
