Basketball Booming History is happening on the hardwood at Stony Brook. Men's basketball is off to its best start in over 25 years while the women have won five straight, including their first-ever victory over a Big Ten opponent. Volleyball Set to Face BYU in the NCAA Tournament Speaking of history, our volleyball team is riding a school-record 17-match winning streak into tomorrow night's NCAA Tournament contest against No. 4 BYU in Provo.Our team relishes the challenge of playing BYU, a team that enters the NCAA Tournament with a record of 27-1. Not only has the America East never won a match in the NCAA Tournament, it has never won a set.Football Focused on 2019 (As a quick aside, perhaps the best news was that we learned late Saturday night that the injury sustained by Donnie Liotine was not nearly as serious as initially feared.) On the flight home, there was a great deal of conversation among the coaches about what needed to happen – immediately – in order to take the next step as a program. Chuck shared some of his thoughts with me prior to our touching down at MacArthur Airport. We plan to meet again tomorrow to continue the discussion. Although everyone on that plane was disappointed with how the season ended, we all share a determination and excitement about where our program is headed. Now we must rise higher.I believe in our coaches and our student-athletes. The reality is that we are 17-6 against FCS opponents over the past two seasons; our record was 10-10 in the two seasons before that. I'm extremely proud of how far our program has come in a relatively short period of time. We have a plan and it is working. Next season we have seven home games and a roster loaded with talent.
