Stony brook secret scrimmage today vs LIU

Any word about how they looked?

Well I just got back from the season ticket holder “courtside chat” and Geno didn’t say if we won or lost which is weird. He did say the team turned the ball over a bunch and shot over 30 three pointers. But yeha by the sound of him talking about the scrimmage, it didn’t seem it was to positive. Hopefully I’m wrong though and we did actually win.

No AC or noll will have to rely on young guards not good especially since college basketball has gotten much older. Gonna be growing pains for sure but 30 threes is not a recipe for sustained success especially since geno is no offensive genius.

What happened to Aaron Clarke??

My understanding from the discussions during the events in the last couple of weeks is that Clarke has a nagging back injury, which may set him back a couple of weeks.  He should be back relatively soon.

However, Sabry Philip is apparently out for the season, along with Noll.  Not a good beginning.

Geez, what a terrible beginning.  Am I going to have to enroll in school and suit up for this team?  I'm perfectly capable of putting up 30' jumpers.............

“We had a lot of guys who were scorers,” head coach Geno Ford said in an interview with The Statesman. “Did the guys get along off the floor? Yes. Did we always play together as well as you want to on the floor? I mean, probably not.”

As for Policelli, the lefty shooter is known for his three-point prowess. He shot 36.1% from deep last year while also hitting 80.4% of his free throws. Ford is bullish on Policelli’s passing ability and has referred to him as one of their best ball-movers. Expect Policelli to play a larger role in facilitating this season.

Last season’s roster was centered around its guards. Though it was beneficial for the offense to have at least four shooters on the floor at a time, the defense suffered mightily with the lack of size. The Seawolves finished dead last in the conference in defense, allowing 73.1 points per game.

Ford has made it clear that he will be rolling out rotations that include Sarvan at power forward in double-big lineups, something that may strike fear in opponents.

“He’s going to play a ton of four,” Ford said. “He’s played a ton of four. He’s played more four than five, so he’ll be on the perimeter a ton.”

Ford said that Muratori will join Fitzmorris and Sarvan in the center rotation to start the season, standing at a towering 7-foot-3 and weighing 270 pounds.

When he returns, Clarke will be starting at point guard.

"...We’re going to get him back, but I don’t know if that’s tomorrow or two weeks from now.”
