ST. BONAVENTURE — The St. Bonaventure men’s basketball season will continue as the Bonnies have accepted a bid to play in the 2025 NIT.

Even better: Bonnies fans will get at least one more shot to catch the home team inside the Reilly Center as Bona’s has picked up a selection to host an opening-round contest.

St. Bonaventure earned an at-large berth into the NIT and a date with Kent State. The Bonnies and Golden Flashes will tip off at 7 p.m. Tuesday in The RC. The game will air nationally on ESPNU.

Tickets for the first-round game will go on sale at 9 a.m. today. Season ticket holders will be able to purchase tickets via their online account.

Student ticket information will be available this afternoon.

Bona’s put together a postseason resume with a 22-11 overall record and will be the No. 3 seed in the NIT’s San Francisco Region. The winner of Tuesday’s game will advance to face the winner of the first-round matchup between No. 2 seed Stanford and CSUN. Other teams in the Bonnies bracket include top seed San Francisco (24-9), which will take on Utah Valley (25-8) as well as San Jose State (15-19), which will host Loyola Chicago (22-11).

Kent State finished the season 22-11 as well, recording an 11-7 mark in Mid-American Conference play. The Golden Flashes reached the semifinals of the MAC Tournament this past weekend.
