7/19/2022 1:00:00 PM

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – The 2022-23 St. Bonaventure men's basketball schedule continues to take shape with the announcement of two rivalry game dates: at Canisius Saturday, Nov. 12 and at Buffalo Saturday, Dec. 3.

The Canisius date will represent the second game of the '22-23 season following the previously announced home opener vs. Saint Francis (PA) on Nov. 7. This season's meeting will take place at the Koessler Athletic Center.

The Bonnies and Griffs continue their century-old rivalry, scheduling the 170th meeting in series history. Bona's owns a 102-67 all-time record vs. their Little Three foe, winning eight of the last 12 meetings. This past season, the Bonnies avenged a 2019 loss with a 69-60 victory on home court over the Griffs. While the Bonnies have owned the series overall, Canisius has found much more success in Buffalo with the series tied, 52-52, on Canisius' home floor.

Ten of Canisius' 11 wins during the 2021-22 campaign came on home court.

St. Bonaventure will make another trip to Buffalo in early December to renew acquaintances with the Bulls.

The Bonnies won a thriller over UB last year, 68-65, thanks to a Jalen Adaway buzzer-beater in front of a sold out Reilly Center. That victory snapped what was UB's first winning streak in the series after capturing the 2018 and 2019 matchups.

All-time, the Bonnies own an 11-4 record against Buffalo including a 4-2 record at UB's Alumni Arena.

Last year, the Bulls finished 19-11 overall including a 13-6 mark in Mid-American Conference play.
