Ticketmaster shows if there is or is not a policy for an event when you buy a ticket and at this time does not show any such policy for this event, doesn't mean it wont change though.

The A-10 released its preseason rankings and St. Bonaventure is the unanimous top team in the A-10.



Great matchup for us. We'll see a lot of four (big) guard and one big matchups.

Thankfully Creighton, Nova, and St. John's all had their ability to play 5-out weakened compared to last seaosn. Creighton will start Kalkbrenner. Nova lost JRE, not sure any of their 4s can play the 5 and their 5s are true centers. St. John's may play some Champagnie at center, but they lost Earlington at the 4 who killed us and replaced him him with Mathis and Wheeler who can't shoot and brought in a couple traditional bigs. They can maybe play a Posh, Smith, Coburn, Wusu, Champagnie lineup, but we should be able to score at will against that lineup with any iteration of our own.

Bonnies are loaded should be a good game. Normally I would say you don’t schedule neutral site games against stacked mid majors but with our size, depth and experience this year we should feel comfortable against anyone.

Heavily disagree. When we face 5 outs, Sanogo needs to be off the floor. Whaley, Akok, and hopefully Johnson are built to guard well on the perimeter. And tbh if they can't take advantage of smaller defenders on the other end, that'd be very disappointing.

Maybe.

If the 5 out 'big' is super-athletic and a strong offensive player, then I agree. However, I don't know any big in the Big East who fits that profile. Maybe Auburn is an example of this w/ Kessler's shooting ability stretching the defense out to allow an athletic big like Jabari Smith to attack the rim.

However, if the 5 out 'big' is meh on offense, I'm not worried about Sanogo's defensive assignment. Keep him in there to bully the 'big' on the low blocks.

Sanogo is going to be a major factor and I expect him to play 25+ mpg almost every game. Relating to the subject line, Sanogo is a perfect guy to counter-attack Osun Osunniyi's limited stretch on offense.
