Here are excerpts from the commentary at the Cataract Clasics on the 11th of December:
6:57 p.m. Not in the starting lineup is St. Joe’s transfer Reggie Agbeko, a 6-7 junior who is likely a draw for UB assistant coach Jim Kwitchoff, who is on hand and spoke with both coaches before the tip.
6:58 p.m. Agbeko checks in with 3:22 left in the first quarter with Depew up, 3-2.
7:22 p.m. We are at halftime and St. Joe’s leads Depew, 16-11. The Marauders had a great final possession of the half after a timeout with less than three seconds left, and senior guard Edward Zimheld knocked down a three-pointer from the right side. Depew had played very well in the later stages of the second quarter with good defense and good passing. Joe’s had gone up, 13-7, on a three by Rehbaum.
Agbeko picked up a second foul on a charge with 4:19 left in the second and sat the rest of the quarter.
7:42 p.m. Agbeko has shown some serious flashes in the last minute or so, going up to grab a man-among-boys rebound and then going up where few players can get to finish a putback up by the rim. Just now he grabbed a rebound off a missed free throw, skying high enough that I let out a wow, high enough that the Depew player waiting to go in the game said, “that boy gets UP.”
7:48 p.m. Agbeko just picked up his fourth on a reach-in with 45.3 seconds left in the third.
8:09 p.m. We have a FINAL SCORE: St. Joe’s 45, Depew 27. Some interviewing to do for me.
