Bona-Binghamton Analysis

Player of the Game: Andrew Nicholson had nine points, 11 rebounds and three blocks in 27 minutes.
Stat of the Game: Binghamton had 19 turnovers versus four assists.
He Said It: "We have a lot to work on, truly a lot to work on," said Binghamton interim coach Mark Macon.
In the House: There were 4,333 at the Reilly Center.
Up Next: Bonnies face Southeast Missouri St. Friday in the first round of the Illinois State BTI Classic.
