The facilities have improved 1000% in the last few years. These small things make a big difference. Appreciate the university and athletic dept understanding the importance of maintaining D1 level facilities for our programs.
👀Branding and wayfinding signage enhancements in the Reilly Center continues. Home exhibition game for @BonniesMBB on Saturday. We play for real in two weeks‼️ 🏀 #GoBonnies #Unfurl 🐺🤎🤍

We’ve heard so much offseason talk about college basketball spending. CBS Sports just came out with a great article (cbssports.com/college-basket…) detailing roster spending in the P5. Penn State, who the Bonnies were beating for the majority of Saturday’s game, is b/t $7.1-9.9 mil.

We talk all the time that it’s not about how much you spend, but more how you spend it. Retention will be key for this Bona roster and really any mid major that wants to succeed in this day-and-age.

KenPom doesn’t seem to account for D2 roster additions - which would be pretty significant in Bonaventure’s case.

There are so many social media accounts providing A-10 preseason rankings, but here are respected rankings from Torvik and Evan Miya, both showing significant roster value for an SBU team with a lower NIL budget than most of their conference counterparts.
