THE BASICS
Saint Louis' Reggie Agbeko posted career highs of 20 points and 16 rebounds, but St. Bonaventure escaped Chaifetz Arena with a 76-67 victory Saturday in the final game of the regular season for both squads.
The Billikens fall to 10-20 overall and 5-13 in Atlantic 10 Conference play. St. Bonaventure (22-7, 14-4 A-10) won its fifth in a row, and an hour after the game learned that it earned a share of the A-10 regular-season title after Dayton beat VCU.
BILLIKEN NOTABLES
