NEWARK, Del. -- I'm setting up shop here at the Bob Carpenter Center. We're here to see if Hofstra can keep this thing going and move to within one game of .500 in the CAA.
Ok, really we are here to witness history. As many of you are likely aware, Antoine Agudio is 11 points shy of breaking Hofstra's 43-year-old career scoring record, which was set by Steve Nisenson. Funny, but Agudio was one of the last ones to emerge from the Hofstra locker room. Perhaps he was making sure he is going to look good for the TV cameras.
Oh wait, there aren't any here since this game isn't on TV. One of the local TV stations could always show up, however. But mostly, if you want to view video of Agudio's feat, you will have to check back with this amateur photographer/videographer. I plan on getting video of the record breaker and have it posted on our Web site. Wish me luck.
When he does break the record, we will make sure you guys are the first to know so keep it right here. Now it's time to get back to work.
UPDATE 7:24 p.m. -- Agudio has four points with 7:36 left in the first half. He's struggling a little bit, hitting just 2 of 7 shots. He's 0-for-1 from three.
UPDATE 7:30 -- A fastbreak layup gives Agudio six points and he's five shy of breaking the record now.
UPDATE 7:45 -- Agudio scored four points in the final 1:17, including a long jumper with 23.9 left. It initially appeared as if the shot was a three, but his foot was clearly over the line. He's officially tied with Nisenson an his next bucket will put him in a class by himself.
UPDATE 7:50 -- We are at the half.
UPDATE 7:55 -- Agudio hit a fallaway jumper near the free throw line to give him the record breaker.
