Seawolves Fans

Definitely a disappointing loss. It's strange because individually almost everyone looks better than last year, but the team as a whole hasn't come together. Defense and rebounding has been questionable, which is uncharacteristic of Pikiell's teams. Bracey seems to be struggling with the speed of the Division 1 game. Both Hayes and Dougher haven't been shooting that well. Jackson and Coley both look much better than last year, but both need to turn the ball over less. Offensively Joyner looks better than he ever has. I think Pikiell and his staff will go through the film, finalize the rotation, and fix the wholes in their defense. There is talent here and I think Pikiell will put it together.

I agree that the program has/is underachieving for a major research university, but that's what makes being Stony Brook fan so much fun. In my opinion, this school has unlimited potential, and the administration realizes this and is taking steps capitalize on it. With the Dubin Center under construction, the funds freed for the arena renovation, and the recent recruiting success, the program is only getting better. Also, most major research universities would never agree to an away game Sacred Heart, so this loss is kind of unique to Stony Brook in that regard.
