Has to be an old photo. Juan Felix Rodriguez, Mo Diallo and Jaden Sayles are all in it.
“Really proud of the fight we showed tonight,” head coach Geno Ford said in a postgame interview with Stony Brook Athletics. “We shot poorly from three but didn’t let it impact our level of competitive spirit on either end. We had it to a four-point game with three minutes left and couldn’t get the big stop we had to have.” Stony Brook’s inability to shoot the three ball played a pivotal role in the game’s outcome. The team only went 5-of-29 from three-point territory. Forward Kenan Sarvan had the toughest night of them all, going 0-for-10 from behind the three-point line. They were successful in other areas, as they shot 60% (15-for-25) from two-point range and made 19-of-23 free throws. However, the 24 empty trips hurt them in the end.Stony Brook is now shooting just 27.8% from deep this year, having only made 25-of-90 three-point attempts.
Shooting woes and carelessness with the ball continued to hurt the Stony Brook men’s basketball team, leading to a second consecutive loss.“Guys battle hard,” head coach Geno Ford said in a postgame interview with Stony Brook Athletics. “It’s impossible to win on the road with 13 turnovers from the guards and shooting 0-of-8 from three-point range in the second half as a team. They wore us down with the pace of the game and made some big threes in the second half.”After going 0-for-10 from deep against Rhode Island, Sarvan did not convert a single field goal in his 32 minutes of play on Thursday. His single point came from a free-throw. The 6-foot-10 power forward did not make much of an impact on the boards either, collecting two rebounds on the night.The senior (TSM) is shooting a scorching 44.0% from deep this year. The rest of the team continues to struggle from beyond the three-point arc, shooting only 22.6% on the season.

Will SBU follow suit? Nope. Geno Ford stays at SB, and SH gets a contract extension. That is my prediction. This is Stony Brook University. Did you expect anything else???
After the Stony Brook men’s basketball team endured its worst year since the 2007-08 season, rumors circulated surrounding head coach Geno Ford’s job security. But according to Athletic Director Shawn Heilbron, Ford is the long-term solution. He will have his job for at least two more seasons.“I really want Geno to be successful because I think he’s a really good coach,” Heilbron said. “But we’ve got to have success. We have to be good in basketball, and I’ll leave it at that.”In a follow-up interview on March 30, Heilbron said that the sides have still not entered contract talks, let alone reached an extension. However, he gave Ford his vote of confidence.“Right now, the goal is on having the championship team on the court next year that we expect to have,” Heilbron said. “Geno and his staff are working really hard with that. I believe that Geno is going to be our coach for a long time.”Though Ford has not been extended, that does not mean he is a lame duck. As a State University of New York (SUNY) employee, Ford is protected by the union. If Heilbron wanted to part ways with Ford, he would have needed to issue him a notice of non-renewal by March 31, 2023. Employees who are not given a non-renewal automatically get to retain their position and get renewed for a year.It is still possible that the two sides agree on a contract extension during the final year of Ford’s current deal. One thing that is certain: Ford will be back after next season ends due to the decision to not non-renew him.
