| In their
last game hosted by the Scotttrade Center (reported attendance,
10,407), Saint Louis University
Billikens (16-13, 7-8), coming off a road win in Philadelphia
against Saint Joseph's, hoped to put a happy ending on the off-campus
era, but the Bonnies of St.
Bonaventure University (8-20, 2-12), coming off 6 straight
losses, out-played the home team and sailed to a comfortable
70-50 victory. The Billikens had a poor shooting afternoon that
did not go well with a visiting team that shot better than 50%
from the field. The Billikens were led by junior guards Kevin
Lisch (19 pts, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) and Tommie Liddell, III
(8 pts), and senior guard Danny Brown (9 pts). Saint Louis shot
