Smith also had a solid night by making 5-of-6 attempts and dealt five assists. Anthony Lamb added 11 points while Trae Bell-Haynes and Ernie Duncan rounded out the scoring spree with 10 points each and combined for nine assists.
 
RELIVING TOM BRENNAN NIGHT | Tom Brennan Night Rewind
Before Monday's game against Siena, the University of Vermont honored longtime coach Tom Brennan by renaming center court in Patrick Gymnasium "Tom Brennan Court." The dedication was presented by the UVM Alumni Association. Brennan is the program's all-time leader in wins (264) and games coached (540) after guiding to the Catamounts to their first three America East Championships from 2003-05, including an upset of Big East champion Syracuse in the NCAA Tournament.
 
OFFENSIVE OUTBURST
The Catamounts used a balanced scoring attack on Monday night as six players scored at least 10 points. It marked the first time since Feb. 2016 that Vermont had at least six players score double figures.
 
EMPIRE STATE OF MIND
Vermont is 9-1 in its last 10 games against schools located in New York. The successful stretch includes victories over non-conference foes Marist, Hofstra, Siena, along with conference rivals Albany and Stony Brook.
 
LAMB'S HOMECOMING
Lamb returns to his hometown of Rochester, New York where he attended Greece Athena High School. The 6-6 forward won three New York Section V titles with the Trojans and raised the sectional championship trophy at Blue Cross Arena all three times. He was also one of four finalists for New York State Mr. Basketball as a senior. Lamb was a two-time Greater Rochester Player of the Year and he averaged 30 points and 17 rebounds per game during his senior season.

SCOUTING ST. BONAVENTURE
The Bonnies bring their four-game winning streak to Rochester, New York and rank among the best statistical teams in the country. St. Bonaventure sits 19th in the nation with 9.3 steals per game and SBU has held its opponents to 28.6% from long range, the 22nd-best percentage in Division I. Senior guard Matt Mobley has averaged 19.6 points per game this season, including 18.4 when the Bonnies reach the win column. Senior guard Jaylen Adams follows with an 18.0 scoring average after missing the first six games with an ankle injury. In his last two games, he has averaged 22.5 points and 9.0 assists per game while draining 7-of-14 attempts from downtown.

INSIDE THE SERIES
UVM and SBU have only met one previous time which came during the 2015-16 non-conference slate. The Bonnies outlasted the Catamounts 80-58 in the Empire State. With a win, Vermont can also complete its first ever season sweep against current Atlantic 10 opponents after beating Richmond 71-65 on Nov. 29.
