On a frosty weekend across the East Coast, host VCU came out red hot and never looked back on the way to a 91-63 victory over the St. Bonaventure men’s basketball team Saturday afternoon at the Siegel Center.

St. Bonaventure has matched its school record for best start in Atlantic 10 play by winning its first four conference games - and its reward is facing three of the league’s best teams over the next week. The Bonnies start that guantlet this Saturday at VCU before traveling to nationally-ranked Dayton Wednesday and then finally returning home to face Rhode Island Jan. 25.

For the third time in program history, St. Bonaventure is off to a 4-0 start to Atlantic 10 play.

St. Bonaventure heads to its home away from home – Blue Cross Arena in Rochester as the Bonnies play host to UMass in the Alesco Advisors Roc City Hoops Classic. The Bonnies have won six straight games at Blue Cross Arena and will be making their 27th appearance all-time in Rochester. In all, Bona is 14-12 all-time in the Flower City.

St. Bonaventure limited Fordham to 24 percent shooting from the floor, pulling away late for a third straight Atlantic 10 victory, 64-44, Saturday afternoon at the Reilly Center.

The Bonnies return home to the Reilly Center for their first game on campus at St. Bonaventure in 23 days, hosting Fordham Saturday afternoon. Fresh off a winning road trip where SBU grabbed two victories at George Washington and George Mason to start Atlantic 10 play, the team aims to continue its strong start to the "second season" when the Rams visit Western New York.
