Super Bowl Sunday kicks off at 6:30 PM ET but you don’t have to wait until then to enjoy an exciting match up. Head to USA Network this Sunday afternoon for an action-packed A10 men’s basketball doubleheader. First, at 12 PM, the George Washington Revolutionaries take on the St. Bonaventure Bonnies in New York. Then, at 2:00 PM, it’s UMass vs La Salle in the “City of Brotherly Love.” See below for everything you need to know about Sunday’s A10 men’s basketball doubleheader.
After a strong 13-3 start to the season, George Washington has struggled, losing 5 of its last 7 games since January 15. Most recently, they dropped a close 53-50 contest to George Mason on Wednesday. Redshirt freshman Christian Jones led the Revolutionaries in points (17) and steals (3), while redshirt junior forward Rafael Castro posted his ninth double-double of the season (10 points, 10 rebounds) — the most in the A10 so far this year.
The Bonnies are coming off a 77-53 loss to Loyola Chicago on Tuesday night, marking their fourth straight road defeat. They shot just 38.5% from the field in the game. After starting the season 14-1, St. Bonaventure has struggled, going 3-6 in its last nine games. However, four of the team’s five starters are averaging double-digit points this season. The Bonnies will need to lean on their team’s depth to break out of this recent slump.
UMass looks to bounce back after falling 73-71 to Saint Louis on Tuesday night. Sophomore Jaylen Curry led the team with 16 points, while senior Daniel Rivera added 14 points and 14 rebounds — his seventh double-double of the season.
La Salle also enters Sunday’s match up seeking redemption, after suffering their worst loss of the season —a 96-66 blowout against reigning A10 champions, VCU, on Tuesday. With a 9-2 record at home this season at John Glaser Arena, the Explorers have been stronger on their home court, averaging nearly 9 more points per game while allowing nearly 13 fewer points to their opponents. They’ll look to tap into that home-court advantage on Sunday.
