He said he plans to visit SBU unofficially in addition to Fairfield and Albany

13 season tickets! amazing

And yes agree attendance is the biggest issue. But we need at least 15k sell out few seasons before moving to FBS. Even if the minimum is 10k, that wont give us profit with additional cost at FBS level to sustain the program.

Its gonna look gorgeous. Especially with new AE logo in SB colors on the new court. Can't wait.

quick question: does anyone know the procedure to host AE tourney?
I know scooby-doos are going to host again this year. Are they hosting next year too? When is the earliest we can host?

Seawolves Nation thinks SB basketball is eyeing another conference for their Basketball possibly the A10. I would love to see that but, how many schools are in 3 different div1 conferences, strange....

Moving ACC or AAC, as the author mentioned, is nothing but a pipe dream. May be in 20 years but I still doubt it. But A10 could be a real possibility in near future. They have lost top teams to New Big East and probably will lose two more as BE expands to 12. When A10 will look for replacements from lower conferences from Northeast, I am sure Stony Brook would be one of the top candidates. We are on par with the cream of CAA, MAAC and Partiot league.


Only question is whether Stony Brook would accept an invitation from A10, a conference that prioritizes only basketball, hurting Baseball and Lacross etc.

As we learned sadly that all these ranking means nothing without AE championship which is the only road to NCAA tourney, but it did help us with a favorable match up in NIT where we won our first post season game against UMass.

here are the final rankings from last season.

RPI: 80
Sagarin: 57
Pomeroy: 55

Not planning to keep up with these rankings these season. The only thing matters are the three games in Albany in AE tourney. Lets go Seawolves.

I think we have two clear priorities for next recruiting:
1)a big defensive bruising center, who can rebound in high rate, protect the paint and bang with other teams big bodies.
2)a true playmaker who can dish out to our numerous wing players and to Warney. Someone to groom behind Tre.

This sucks if it is true that UA moving to CAA and Hofstra is blocking us. The options ahead for us are:
1) stay as it is now...keep all sports in AE and football in CAA. AE gets weaker with UA leaving and may be finally we get to go to the dance
2) prepare to move for MAC as some suggested above. It's not impossible. But they are horrible in basketball. FBS Football is not much better either. Do we really want to follow Buffalo's footstep?
3) IMO, we should be happy with football in CAA. Keep improving our basketball and try to get an invite from Atlantic 10 for all sports. Put Lacross in CAA or ECAC. I think we can achieve this goal with hard work and dedication in next 5/6 years. A10 will most pribably lose SLU and Richmond to Big East and will be looking for new members. This scenario will gives us exciting top class CAA FCS football, excellent multi-bids A10 hoops, stable lacross CAA/ECAC competition and weak A10 baseball. I will take that.
