First AE win over a ranked team in like 8 years. Give these guys a break, we had such a tough nonconference slate and with this young team some growing pains were expected. To win this game is so sweet.

Warney was contained for most of the game but made an amazing shot to take the lead at the end. That's just him maturing- remember earlier in the season when he'd get doubled/tripled, he'd force shots. He had 6 assists today which was critical.

So proud of the guys. I'm gonna miss the UNH game but can't wait to see these boys back at home.

Kam Mitchell really showed why he was such a highly touted shooter out of high school.

I was at the game- the 1-3-1 zone really confounded the team. I don't think I've seen that many dumb turnovers in a while. Athletically we were definitely better than Princeton but they run their scheme to perfection.

I like Mitchell off the bench but I think Thrower needs to be on the floor the majority of the time with Puriefoy instead of Mitchell. Kam threw away some passes in the half court game. We had this game under control but just collapsed late in the game. Kam is a fine player but he should be offense off of the bench.

The Ivy League took it to the America East yesterday and was undefeated (Penn, Dartmouth, Harvard, and Princeton). As an aside, Princeton's arena is really beautiful. I can imagine that it gets rowdy during Ivy League play. I wish I had applied there back in the day- I doubt I would have gotten in but it seems like an awesome place.

Overall, we just need to clean this up by the time conference play starts. If we can't beat Princeton I think we're gonna get throttled by Providence and probably UW. I do think games like this will help the team "grow-up" faster. American will be a good challenge too at home.

Fun game to watch today. Warney was a man among boys, some of his blocks were just mean. I still like Mitchell off the bench as an outside shooter- he'll fill a nice role for us. McGrew is really maturing into a nice player- if he starts hitting that mid-range jumper he's gonna be hard to defend. Nice to see the depth of our team though.

LOVE our freshman class

Sekunda- as good a shooter as we've had, he's got a beautiful stroke.
Thrower- very good ballhandler, physical to the hoop and a good shot
Sturdivant- needs to put on muscle (who doesn't?) but he's a good athlete, proud of his double-double today
Petrus- moves pretty well for a big guy, you don't usually recruit bigs who can move like he can in the America East

Don't forget we'll have Lucas Woodhouse next year who will be the first true PG we've had in a while.

I was at the WBB season opener. Not the same turnout as the guys but still, not that bad. They apparently have doubled last year's season ticket sales for the ladies. I have no idea how good St. Peter's is, but Stony Brook played well. I think the team is in good hands with Coach McCombs

That was one of the best games I've attended...professional or collegiate. Just amazing energy in the arena. The student section was jam-packed on BOTH ends of the floor. I saw a ton of students standing and watching this one. I'm in the VIP section and I gotta say, its a first class experience. The food and drink selection was amazing.

Also IFCU is a LOUD arena. If we get anything resembling this kind of attendance, its gonna be a nightmare to play it. Any recruit that comes to our big games is gonna be impressed. In the world of mid-majors, this arena is gonna be huge for us. I liked Pritchard but this is an arena more fitting for our team. It will not be an easy place to play for anyone. I cannot emphasize how good of an experience this was.

Now, the game was fun but we gotta work on the free throw shooting. Columbia had some very good size in the post and Warney had to work hard for points. Our perimeter defense got better late in the game.

I'm really impressed with Bryan Sekunda- he's got good size and he's got a great 3 point shot. His 3 late in the second half was clutch- how many freshman hit that shot?! Deshaun Thrower looks the part too- he's got a quick burst and also has a nice jumper. I wanted to see Tyrell today but alas, we have some throwaway games against USMMA and St. Thomas Aquinas coming up where everybody will get to play. This team has got some young but very interesting pieces.

Student turnout was pathetic. The administration needs to do something to improve that- I don't know if the RAs need to be aggressive with it but there were like 70 students total in the student section. Yes I know there are a lot of commuters but there have to be more kids still on campus. To be fair, even big schools have trouble filling student sections but those are schools that charge students for tickets. What excuse do Stony Brook students have? Pretty pathetic.

On the other hand, the community involvement with the team is awesome. Its backwards but the community attendance is amazing.

Can't wait for this game! Gonna head over straight from the hospital after work, love being so close to LaValle
