The Starting Five Notes
1.  Saturday afternoon, St. Bonaventure completes the regular season by hosting UMass. The Bonnies can clinch fifth place in the Atlantic 10 with a win. Playing in the final home game of their careers, seniors Denzel Gregg, David Andoh and Caleb McGuire will honored in a traditional pre-game ceremony.

2.  St. Bonaventure is in sole possession of fifth place in the A-10, one game ahead of George Washington and George Mason. The Bonnies have already earned their third straight season with double-digit A-10 wins, which is a new program standard.

3.  Gregg, who has played in 111 career games and helped St. Bonaventure to 76 wins, is among the A-10 leaders in rebounding, blocks and field goal percentage. Gregg has eight double-doubles this year, most recently 15 points and 14 rebounds in the Bonnies' Feb. 25 win over Duquesne.

3.  Jaylen Adams and Matt Mobley combine to average 40.2 points per game. Between them, they have 29 games of 20 points or more. Adams ranks 20th nationally and second in the A-10 in scoring (20.9). Mobley, who was named A-10 Player of the Week after he averaged 25.5 points over two wins last week, ranks fourth in the A-10 at 19.5 points per game.

4.  A candidate for A-10 Player of the Year, Adams does much more than just score from his point guard position. He leads the A-10 and ranks seventh in the country in assists (6.5 per game). Over the last six games, Adams had 46 assists and 21 turnovers. He also ranks second in the A-10 and 23rd nationally in steals (2.1). Adams' 176 assists so far this season ranks fourth on St. Bonaventure's single season list and is 40 shy of the school record. 

Series Notes: This will be the 68th meeting between these long-time Atlantic 10 rivals. UMass holds a 41-26 series lead, but the Bonnies have won seven of the last nine meetings. Last season, the teams played a classic on Senior Day at the RC with the Bonnies winning 85-83 on a last-second layup by Marcus Posley.

St. Bonaventure vs. UMass: The Last Meeting
Dec. 30, 2016 at Mullins Center: Bonnies 89, UMass 77
With its veteran backcourt and forward Denzel Gregg leading a poised team, St. Bonaventure won its Atlantic 10 opener. Leading for all but one minute of the game, the Bonnies won the game with solid defense, ball control and free throw shooting. They also got 52 points from their backcourt as Adams finished with 29 and Mobley 23. St. Bonaventure held the Minutemen to 42 percent shooting overall including 5-20 (25 percent) from three-point range. The Bonnies got to the free throw line 38 times and made 33. Adams was the catalyst in the first half as he scored 19 points before halftime. After the point guard got into foul trouble in the second half, Mobley picked the slack by scoring 15 points in the frame. Gregg totaled 11 points, seven rebounds and two blocks.

UMass Notes:
• UMass lost at home to Richmond on Wednesday, 75-64. The Spiders went 15-26 from three-point range. Last Sunday, UMass topped La Salle 84-71.
• The Minutemen use a deep bench with four players averaging better than 10 points per game. Last in the A-10 in three-point field goal percentage (.301), UMass looks to go inside to center Rashaan Holloway or get to the free throw line. UMass is a fairly young team with three freshmen in its rotation.
• Guard Zach Lewis, who scored 37 points against La Salle, is a transfer from Canisius.
