Whiteout the RC on Wednesday!

Winners of eight straight home games, the Bonnies host league-leader Temple in a nationally televised "White Out" game Wednesday at the Reilly Center.

The Reilly Center will host a "White Out" night and athletics department officials encourage everyone in attendance to wear white in support of the Bonnies. The Student Government Association is also sponsoring a canned-food drive.

Temple enters the game on an eight-game win streak and sits just outside the Top 25 in the most recent AP poll.

St. Bonaventure is 9-1 in the Reilly Center this season, with all but one victory coming by double digits. The game features Co-Atlantic 10 Players of the Week Andrew Nicholson and Ramone Moore, as the senior tandem picked up league honors for their performances last week.

Nicholson averaged 22.5 points, 16.0 rebounds and shot 19-of-30 for the week (63.3 percent) in a 1-1 week for the Bonnies. After a 24-point, nine-rebound outing in a loss at UMass, the senior posted St. Bonaventure's first 20-20 game on record since Bob Lanier in 1967 with 21 points and a career-high 23 rebounds in a win over Duquesne Saturday at the Reilly Center.

Moore, a fifth-year senior guard, averaged 27.5 points and shot 57 percent on 3-pointers in last week's victories over Fordham and Xavier. Against the Musketeers, Moore made five 3-pointers to finish with a game-high 30 points

White t-shirts will be available on a limited basis to St. Bonaventure students on a first-come, first-served basis at the student entrance. Game time is set for 8 p.m. on CBS Sports Network, with doors set to open at 7 p.m. A limited number of tickets are still available and can be purchased at the RC ticket office at (716) 375-2500 or via email at tickets@sbu.edu.
