NCAA Tournament 2000 - St. Bonaventure playbook: A Winn-ing hand

St. Bonaventure playbook: A Winn-ing hand
Coach's Edge

St. Bonaventure enters the tournament for the first time since 1978 and, as one of the last teams in, the Bonnies would like to prove they belong. The Bonnies led the Atlantic 10 in shooting percentage at 45 percent and had a solid 11-5 conference record. Their go-to guy is Tim Winn, who has a solid all-around game. Looking for a Winn, the Bonnies want to show they are worthy.
