The 2015 – 16 Bonnies finished in a three way tie for first place in the A-10 regular season . The Bonnies were upset in their first game of the A-10 Tournament , losing in overtime to Davidson . The Bonnies failed to receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament and were considered one of the " first four out " by the selection committee , their poor non-conference strength of schedule and lack of non-conference quality wins being listed as the reasons they were not selected for a bid . Their omission was widely considered to be one of the largest snubs of the year , if not all time , being the first team to ever to have an RPI ranking in the top 30 and a conference regular season title to their name , and not receive a bid . It came as such a surprise to so many in the college basketball world , that it prompted the Atlantic 10 athletic director to issue a public statement voicing her dissatisfaction with the committee 's decision to exclude the Bonnies . The following year , St. Bonaventure alum Brian Toolan wrote a short book about the Bonnies ' 2015-2016 season , entitled " Snubbed "
