    SBUnfurled and Lil Bona X are joined by new St. Bonaventure head coach Mike MacDonald.

MacDonald also comments on his offensive and defensive philosophies and current player evaluations and roles (16:26 - 30:07), getting former Bona players and the entire SBU community involved in support and recruiting/playing locally, and his formula for non-league scheduling (30:07 - 45:50). We end with rapid fire questions on MacDonald’s ideal changes to NCAA, favorite music artist and TV show, one change he’d make to the Reilly Center, and one former Bona player he’d want to coach (45:50 - 56:30).
