Know Thy Opponent: St. Bonaventure Bonnies

Muffet McGraw's Fighting Irish will play St. Bonaventure tomorrow morning at 2:30 PM ET in a Sweet Sixteen match-up in Raleigh, NC.  The Irish will be playing a program (BONAS) that has never been in this position before -- will they be able to handle it?

Yesterday, Coach McGraw met with the media to talk about this game -- see that link below.  Also, I've tracked down some of the local media coverage coming out of western New York for this match-up.
