As any true Bonnie fan knows, the week of March 11 to March 15 was the Atlantic-10 Men’s Basketball tournament. St. Bonaventure made a showing by making it to the second round (after their win over Saint Joseph’s 60-49), but unfortunately lost to Dayton in the last minutes (71-75). However, the Bonnies still have plenty to rave about their season as not only was it stellar, but it was the last for some of their key players. This week’s campus celebrity is Youssou Ndoye, a four-year varsity member.
