St. Bonaventure's Denzel Gregg made all five shots he attempted during Wednesday night's 77-58 victory over George Mason, but he saved his toughest one for last. With less than two minutes remaining and the Bonnies already up by 15, Gregg caught a pass in the right corner, shot faked and blew by his defender off the dribble. He was already under the basket by the time he went up for a shot, so he compensated by throwing down an incredibly difficult one-handed no-look reverse jam. WOW! Craziest dunk you'll see this year - @BonniesMBB Denzel Gregg. Bona wins 77-58 #SCTop10 @ESPNAssignDesk #A10MBB https://t.co/jwODbfr9SY — Atlantic10Conference (@atlantic10) January 7, 2016 Gregg finished with 12 points on 5-for-5 shooting off the bench and the No. 6 spot on SportsCenter's Top Plays countdown. The 6-foot-7 forward's dunk overshadowed a brilliant 30-point night from St. Bonaventure star Marcus Posley. St. Bonaventure didn't register any marquee wins in non-conference play, but the Bonnies (10-3, 2-0) are off to an impressive start in the Atlantic 10. They defeated last year's champion Davidson in their opener and then routed struggling George Mason on the road Wednesday night for their first 2-0 start to league play since the 1999-2000 season. - - - - - - - Jeff Eisenberg is the editor of The Dagger on Yahoo Sports.

Many college basketball players go their entire career without sinking a game-winning shot at the buzzer. Marcus Posley has done it twice in four days. The St. Bonaventure guard followed up his length-of-the-floor dash to beat Davidson on Wednesday night with more last-second heroics Saturday afternoon against VCU. With the score tied and the Bonnies holding for the game's last shot, Posley used a high screen to force VCU to switch 250-pound Mo Alie-Cox onto him and then attacked the big man the dribble. Posley's acrobatic layup high off the glass gave St. Bonaventure a 73-71 victory over the Atlantic 10's first-place team and inspired a frantic court storming from Bonnies fans. Back-to-back game winners from Posley are just two of the highlights from his spectacular junior season. The transfer from junior college power Indian Hills Community College is averaging a team-high 17.2 points per game and has spearheaded St. Bonaventure's rise into the upper half of the increasingly wide open Atlantic 10. VCU appeared to have a stranglehold on the league until defensive dynamo Briante Weber blew out his knee last Saturday and leading scorer Treveon Graham reinjured his left ankle Wednesday against George Mason. Both could only watch as the Rams staged a furious rally from a 10-point second-half deficit and tied the game on a Jordan Burgess basket with 16.5 seconds to go only to lose a few seconds later. While Terry Larrier, JeQuan Lewis and Melvin Johnson did their best to carry shorthanded VCU offensively, the absence of both Graham and Weber is a lot to overcome. The Rams (18-5, 8-2) still lead the Atlantic 10, but now five teams are within two games of them with a month still left to play. One of them is St. Bonaventure, and the biggest reason why is Posley. Twice this week, St. Bonaventure coach Mark Schmidt has put the ball in his hands with the game on the line and twice Posley has delivered.
