Early Court Rush Costs St. Bonaventure Game Against VCU

St. Bonaventure jovially jumped the gun on Saturday—and it ended up costing the team dearly.

With 3.2 seconds left and the Bonnies trailing the Rams 65-63 in the second half, St. Bonaventure guard Matt Mobley caught the pass from Jaylen Adams and sank it for three. 

Some fans and members of the team thought the successful shot was a buzzer-beater and swarmed the floor in celebration. 

However, they were sadly mistaken. The clock still had 0.4 seconds remaining, so the team received a technical foul. VCU guard JeQuan Lewis made the ensuing free throw, sending the game into overtime.

The Rams ultimately reclaimed the lead, winning 83-77. 

Maybe the Bonnies will pump the brakes on the celebration next time around.
