Agee has looked much better in practice. He actually has done pretty well against and guarding Cliff. I think he will do better. Maybe he was nervous and tried too hard. Reiber is very athletic and I think he will get some important minutes. We also have Luke as our 4th center for an emergency.

Exactly. There’s no planet where Harrar was going to give up starting at Penn State so that he could spell Cliff at Rutgers. Why are we still acting like that was ever a possibility?

Cliff looked great and didn’t play nearly as many minutes as he should have. I think Pike was trying to give as much run to the reserve centers as he could tonight. Not going to write anyone off after one game but we need more from the guys coming in to relieve Cliff than what we got tonight.
I also didn't understand that and at one point he had RHJ playing center so he was not giving the backups any more run and I thought Reiber should have played in the second half

No reason for alarm with Gonzales-Agee yet.

He has excellent rebounding instincts and was defending guys running a system offense, something he's probably never prepared for.

When things get a bit more "traditional" it turns around quickly. I expect much more by DePaul
