RICHMOND, Va. (Interstat) — The Saint Bonaventure Bonnies look to solidify their position in the Atlantic 10 standings when they visit the struggling VCU Rams on Saturday at Siegel Center. Saint Bonaventure (14-12, 5-6 A-10) enters the matchup seeking consistency after a 52-75 road loss to Richmond on Wednesday. The Bonnies had won two straight prior to that defeat. VCU (8-17, 3-8) aims to halt a three-game skid, most recently a 42-85 loss at Rhode Island. A key matchup will feature Saint Bonaventure’s Brillana Boyd against VCU’s Katarina Knezevic. Boyd is coming off a strong performance against Richmond, logging 28 minutes with 13 points and eight rebounds. Knezevic, a consistent interior presence for the Rams, recorded a double-double with 10 rebounds in the loss to Rhode Island and averaged a near double-double over her last three contests. The Bonnies have found more success in conference play, leveraging a defense that held opponents under 60 points in recent wins over Davidson and Duquesne. VCU’s offense has struggled, failing to reach 60 points in four of its last five games. Historically, VCU holds the home-court advantage in Richmond. The Rams will need to contain Boyd and Olivia DiFranco, who combined for 22 points and 13 rebounds in the Bonnies’ last outing. For VCU, generating offense beyond Knezevic will be critical; Makennah White and Lucy Ghaifan will be called upon for supplemental scoring. Saturday’s contest is the only scheduled meeting between the teams this regular season. Saint Bonaventure continues its road swing with an eye on securing a favorable seed for the upcoming conference tournament, while VCU looks to play spoiler and build momentum in its final home stand. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. EST.
