Book your tickets for San Antonio! Ok, maybe not. And maybe not Atlantic City. But GW at least avoided being last place in the conference, topping the Bonnies and ending the 10 game road winless streak in Olean, NY. Olean is never an easy place to play, and that's not just because it's in the middle of nowhere - the Bona fans get riled up.It was a good game offensively, with the team shooting 54.5% from the floor and 52% from three, hitting 13 treys. Mo Rice ended his 2 points over three games run, scoring 17 on 4/8 shooting including 3/6 from three point land and 6/6 from the stripe. Not bad. Damian Hollis also had 17 on 6/8, 3/4, and 2/2, all in front of his dad, who played at St. B's and had his jersey retired before the game. Pretty classy of Bonaventure to do that. Also for GW, Noel Willmore looked like early season Greg Collucci, hitting 5/10 three pointers, and Rob Diggs added 12 points.
The Bonnies shot 42% and only 24% from three, and GW outrebounded them by 3. GW had the lead to start the game and held on the whole time. Nice. That makes GW two for their last three games (although also two for the last ten, so hey). The only negatives for the game is that GW got beat on the offensive boards 15-9 and had 15 turnovers (but also 15 assists).
