PISCATAWAY, N.J. - News, notes and other information from the Bonnies' 85-81 loss to the University of Delaware on Friday night at the RAC:

- With the loss, the Bonnies missed out on their first 3-0 start since the 2000-'01 campaign when they topped New Mexico State, Fresno State and Charlotte to open the season.

- The Bonnies' 54 percent shooting was a season-high while their 4-for-17 effort from 3-point range was a season-low. It was also the first time the Bonnies didn't force at least 20 turnovers.

- The 24 points by Jon Hall were a career-high as were Andrew Nicholson's 14-point effort and Ray Blackburn's nine-point output. It was the third-straight game Hall has scored at least 16 points and had at least three rebounds and three assists.

- Junior guard Chris Matthews jumped out to his third quick start in as many games, accounting for seven of the Bonnies' first 11 points, and finishing with 18 for the game.

- It was the first time St. Bonaventure scored at least 80 points since a 96-82 loss to Temple on Feb. 20 of last season.
