St. Bonaventure's Ogo Adegboye Playing for Great Britain U-23 Team

St. Bonaventure men’s basketball senior-to-be Ogo Adegboye (London, England/Lamar CC) will spend the next three days playing for Great Britain’s U-23 team in hopes of making the cut for England’s Men’s National squad.

Adegboye, along with 16 other players, will take part in a four-team tournament in Lille, France, beginning on Friday, June 18. They will take on France, Belgium and Luxembourg over a three-day span.

Each member of the 17-man roster is competing for a spot on England’s National team, which will play together in August in the Eurobasket qualifier.

A native of London, Adegboye averaged 6.6 points, 2.4 assists and 1.7 rebounds over 31 games in his first season in the Brown and White in 2009-10. Adegboye ranked seventh in the Atlantic 10 with a positive 2.0 assist/turnover ratio, while finishing second on the club with 30 three-pointers. A true point guard, Adegboye committed just 10 turnovers over the last 11 games, while passing out 35 assists.

Adegboye started a 12-game stretch at the end of non-conference play through the middle of February and will enter the 20010-11 season as the favorite to take over the point guard position on a permanent basis. Adegboye reached double figures seven times last season and began to develop his outside shot at the end of the season, going 10-for-18 from beyond the arc over the last five games.
