A little more than three hours after the St. Bonaventure men’s basketball team won the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament title and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, Bonnies guard Jaren Holmes remained in disbelief at what his team had accomplished.
“This day is like a moment in history,” Holmes said Sunday. “This is a surreal moment, a moment I can never forget. Spending it with this group of guys and the people here, the coaches, everybody that came with us, it’s really just a great moment. A moment I will never forget.”
After winning the Atlantic 10 championship, the Bonnies learned they are the nine seed in the East Region of the 68-team field and are scheduled to open Saturday against No. 8 LSU in a first-round game at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind. Tipoff is scheduled for 1:45 on TNT.
