LAFAYETTE LEOPARDS @ ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES

Bonnies bring momentum back to the Reilly Center

St. Bonaventure followed its win at Canisius with an 88-64 home victory over Cornell, using a 9-0 run to build a 17-point halftime lead while holding Cornell to 38.5% shooting.

Bill’s interior efficiency is a major matchup factor

Benjamin Bill enters averaging 17.7 points and 6.7 rebounds through three games while shooting 85.7% from the floor; his 10 blocks account for 10 of St. Bonaventure’s 19 blocks.

Lafayette’s backcourt can test the Bonnies from deep

Cooper Kesler and Beckett Currie combine for 28.0 points per game and have made 12 and nine three-pointers, respectively, giving Lafayette a perimeter counter to St. Bonaventure’s interior presence.

Leopards have shown a team-wide presence on the glass

Lafayette’s notes list 163 total rebounds and 50 offensive rebounds through four games, and the team leads the Patriot League in total rebounds; that second-chance pressure could matter against Bill and the Bonnies’ size.

No confirmed starting lineup or injury report in the previews

The Nov. 13 matchup notes do not publish a confirmed starting five or player-specific injury designations; check official updates and warmups before relying on individual-player markets.

Pick Ideas

Angles drawn from the matchup analysis above and refreshed as the news changes. They are a separate read from the LineCrush pick for this matchup, so the two can land on different sides.

Bonnies moneyline only at a sensible price

St. Bonaventure is the home-side lean, but no spread, total, or moneyline was posted when checked; avoid paying a steep favorite price without clear value.

Consider Lafayette team total under at an inflated number

Lafayette scored 60 and 57 in its two road losses, making an under worth considering only at an inflated team-total number; the sample is small.

Lafayette assists over if the line is modest

Lafayette’s game notes report 18 assists per game, making a team-assists over appealing below that pace; weigh the early-season figure against the price.
