Strong Second Half Lifts Bonnies Past Bills, 66-57

OLEAN, N.Y. – Senior guard Tramaine Isabell Jr. registered a double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as SLU fell 66-57 at St. Bonaventure on Saturday afternoon in the Billikens' regular-season finale.

The Billikens (19-12, 10-8 Atlantic 10) now set their sights on the A-10 Championship, which will be held March 13-17 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Saint Louis will open play in the tourney on Thursday. The complete bracket will be announced later tonight. St. Bonaventure improves to 16-15 overall and 12-6 in the league and is assured the No. 4 seed and a double bye in the tourney.

Isabell's 21 points came on the heels of a season-high 39 points in the Billikens' last game. Against the Bonnies, he was 7-of-16 from the field and 4-of-9 from the arc. Isabell's 12 rebounds were a season high, and he also dished out six assists.

French scored 14 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Jordan Goodwin and Javon Bess chipped in seven points apiece.

The Billikens led by as many as eight points in the first half and took a five-point lead into the break at 27-22.

However, in the second half St. Bonaventure shot 54.5 percent from the field, 57 percent from 3-point range and 80 percent from the line to post the come-from-behind victory.
