UMass is coming into this game with a 14-7 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 games and they are currently 5-4 in the conference. They have lost 3 of their 4 games on the road in the conference this season but 2 of those losses were very close and against good teams in the A10 as they lost by 1 point against Loyola Chicago and lost by 4 points against Dayton. They also won their last game on the road against Saint Louis and beat them by 11 points so they are going to have some confidence from that 1st road win of the season in the conference and have been playing much better recently with 2 straight wins now. They are going up against a St Bonaventure team that is 13-8 this season and has won 2 of their last 3 games, but they have also lost 3 of their last 5 games and are only 4-5 in the conference this year. The Bonnies have been much better at home this season, winning their last 3 straight games there, but they also have a loss at home against Fordham and their last win at home was much closer as they only beat VCU by 5 points. St Bonaventure has been very inconsistent throughout conference play this season while UMass has been playing much better in their recent games and can keep this game close if they do not win it outright. UMass will cover the spread in this game.
