Graham writes about 10-0 St. Bonaventure's rebirth:

The calendar said it was two weeks before Christmas, but even Bob Cratchit had more reason to be festive than St. Bonaventure coach Jim Crowley.

It was Dec. 10, 2006, and Crowley stewed over an embarrassing loss at home the day before, a 71-46 setback, to put it kindly, against Bowling Green. The rout dropped the Bonnies to 4-5 on the season and epitomized a program stuck on a long-term road to nowhere.

**Will you look at that -- some SID must have read my complaints! The schedule AND the record on one, easy to read page!**

Mechelle writes about Jasmine Thomas' growth:

"She's always been willing to communicate and take charge," McCallie said. "She learned so much from Year 1, and that carried to Year 2. Now she's benefiting already from experiences in Year 3."

McCallie looks back to last season's 81-79 overtime victory against North Carolina, on March 1 in Durham, as a recognizable turning point for Thomas. She had eight of her 19 points in the extra period.
