Bona vs. South Florida scouting report
St. Bonaventure (23-10): The Bonnies have won based on their defense, which is giving up just 57.6 points a game and holding opponents to 37.4 percent from the field. Bona has dug itself out of 14- point halftime deficits against West Virginia and Wisconsin to advance in the WNIT. Second-half play has been impressive but the Bonnies need a better start to the game. They could ride the wave of the home crowd, which likely will set another attendance record. The Bonnies are 13-2 in the Reilly Center and continue to be led offensively by Dana Mitchell (15.5 ppg) and Katelyn Murray (11.5 ppg). (Updated: 03/29/09 6:36 AM )
