From Tom Timmerman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

STLToday.com: How the Atlantic 10 stands with two gamedays left

BTW, Bona only has one game left – Saturday’s tilt with the Niners – as the Bonnies have played 15 of their 16 conference games.

[B]PASSING FANCY:[/B] Charlotte junior guard [B]DiJuan Harris[/B] registered a career-best 15 assists on Feb. 14 in the 49ers’ 69-51 win over GW. The last A-10 player to record 15 or more assists in a game was La Salle’s Julian Blanks versus Rhode Island on Feb. 6, 2001. Harris has dished out 10 or more assists a league-best and school-record 11 times this year.

Keep forgetting about USA Today since I don’t have it bookmarked!

Should the Colonials stay sizzling and win their final two games, the Charlotte/St. Bonaventure game could determine who is left out of the conference tournament. It's the first meeting between the two teams this year, but the 49ers topped the Bonnies 87-83 in Olean last season.

Interesting piece on the Baron family in the New York Times. Apparently there’s another son – Billy Baron – in high school who is considering Davidson.

FWIW, in the past week or so I’ve read pieces about Jim & Jimmy Baron (Rhode Island) in a New York newspaper, Aaron Jackson (Duquesne) in a Connecticut newspaper, and Rick Majerus (Saint Louis) in a Buffalo newspaper, but I want to read about something A-10 related in the Big O, fugetaboutit!!! :rolleyes: :tongue:
