Recaps from four Atlantic 10 men’s basketball games Wednesday night.
St. Bonaventure 98 Saint Joseph’s 90
Posley’s jaw-dropping, eye-opening, hyperbole-deserving 47-point performance Wednesday night proved the center piece in St. Bonaventure’s 98-90 victory over Saint Jospeh’s in Atlantic 10 action at the Blue Cross Arena.
Posley connected on 15-of-19 shots from the floor including 6-of-7 from behind (some way behind) the 3-point arc to best Hield’s 46-point outing that stood as the season’s highest in Division I.
“Crazy to think I was in my townhouse watching Buddy Hield go off on Kansas is just pretty cool,” Posley said. “To be in this position right now I’m just blessed.”
Hield hit 13-of-23 (8-of-15 from long range) in Oklahoma’s double overtime loss at then No. 1 Kansas on January 4th.
Posley, who received a ball in pre-game ceremony for scoring 1,000 points in his Bona career, accomplished his feat against a Saint Joseph’s defense holding opposing teams to 29.5 percent (fifth in the nation) from behind the arc. READ MORE.
