Why St. Bonaventure can cover 

Five Bonnies are averaging double figures in points, with Jalen Adaway leading the way with 15.4 per game. Adaway recorded 15 points in Friday's victory while fellow senior guard Kyle Lofton led St. Bonaventure with 16 while adding eight assists. Lofton is first on the team with an average of 5.4 assists and has recorded at least six in three of his last four contests.

Lofton (525) is the fourth player in school history to eclipse the 500-assist mark. He increased his career points total to 1,486 on Friday, passing David Vanterpool for 15th place on St. Bonaventure's all-time list. Senior forward Osun Osunniyi registered 12 points and six blocks on Friday, leaving him 44 points shy of 1,000 and 17 blocks away from overtaking Caswell Cyrus (289) for most in school history.

Why Saint Louis can cover

Yuri Collins led the Billikens with 18 points in Friday's setback and added seven assists. The sophomore guard is second on the team with an average of 11.8 points and tops Saint Louis -- and the nation -- with 8.4 assists. Collins also is first in the country with 201 total assists, which make him just the second player in school history to eclipse the 200 mark and leave him 35 away from passing Jim Roder for most by a Billiken in a season.

Gibson Jimerson is Saint Louis' top scorer as he is scoring 16.8 points per contest. The freshman guard is eager to redeem himself after finishing with only six points on 2-of-10 shooting in Friday's loss. Junior forward Francis Okoro scored 14 points against St. Bonaventure in the home-and-home opener and has made 70.9 percent of his shots from the floor over the last six games.

The Saint Louis Billikens and the St. Bonaventure Bonnies meet in college basketball action from the Capital One Arena on Friday afternoon.

Gibson Jimerson leads the Billikens in scoring with 16.2 PPG while Yuri Collins has 11 PPG with a team-high 8 APG this season. Francis Okoro has 10.7 points with a team-high 7.8 RPG as well for the Billikens up to this point in the season. As a team, Saint Louis is averaging 77.5 PPG on 46.3% shooting from the field, 37.3% from three and 76.6% from the foul line while allowing 67.9 PPG on 42.2% shooting from the field and 31.8% from three this season.

The St. Bonaventure Bonnies come into the conference tournament as the #4 seed after finishing the year at 20-8 overall including a 12-5 mark in A-10 conference play this season. Jalen Adaway leads the Bonnies in scoring with 16 PPG along with 6.4 RPG while Jaren Holmes has 13.6 PPG with 5.2 RPG and 3.7 APG this season.

Saint Louis is 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 neutral site games while the under is 9-1 in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record. St. Bonaventure is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 neutral site games while the under is 8-1 in their last 9 games against a team with a winning record.

I get the case to be made for both sides here and the Bonnies did sweep the season series with the Billikens. However, call me a glutton for punishment as I had Saint Louis in both of those games, but I’m going back to the well with Saint Louis here. The Billikens have still been one of the better teams in the A-10 this season and while the Bonnies have been in better standing at the end of the year, I just think the Billikens end up getting one here. Give me Saint Louis in this one.
