The Short Story
Matt Mobley scored 31 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to lead St. Bonaventure to an 83-77 win over Saint Joseph's on Wednesday night at Hagan Arena.

The Bonnies led 40-36 at halftime before the Hawks took a one point lead early in the second half. St. Bonaventure, however, took control with a 9-5 run that ended with the visitors ahead 72-62 with 4:32 left.
