Same score as when the lost to Townson earlier in the season. I was hoping Google showed the score from the other game by accident.

Oof.

I’m watching. We can’t make free throws. That was unacceptable when I played in high school.  Yet, it’s rampant in the college game. Has been for years. It’s cringeworthy.  We need to make free shots if we are gonna have a shot.

Watching on Flosports or somewhere else?
Optimum cable at a local pub. Channel 73 MSG2

Thanks! Got it on now!

Completely missed it in the title of the thread.

This is our Super Bowl. Second Super Bowl of the season...pretty cool.

Oof.

What Pratt did was unacceptable and embarrassed the university and couldn't have come at at worse time...talk about the momentum swing of the loss to Monmouth plus losing Pratt for the Hofstra game plus the dark cloud over the team and university now.

1 game suspension does feel about right.

The comments on the NY Post article are disgusting, however.  Wow.  Most of those people clearly aren't fit to be commenting on decorum, manners, class, how someone was raised, etc. Wow. But, not surprising.

I will say...and this does not excuse what he did...you expect multimillionaire athletes be able to put up with all kinds of fan abuse, and many argue  they should just take it (unless it crosses certain lines) as they're compensated to an extreme level and getting heckled is part of the difficult job they are royally paid for. But mid major college athletes aren't really in a position of power relative to the fans...in most cases the fans are wealthier than the players, and the players are just student athletes trying to have fun and maybe help pay for college tuition.  I'm not really a heckler (but I am a voracious cheerer/boo-er)...though I have heckled pro athletes as far as group/arena chants (but never a direct personal type interaction)...it would never occur to me to heckle a college kid playing a sport. Maybe because I am an adult. But even back when I was a student attending Stony Brook games, it never occurred to me to personally berate an opposition player.

All of that said, still unacceptable. It wouldn't feel right if he wasn't suspended.

Hope they keep the streak going ... Especially since I hope to bring the family to Saturday's game vs Northeastern...would be nice to go to that game still riding a winning streak!

It's their Super Bowl...so patronizing.  ::)


Can't believe a coach would say something so stupid like that. C'mon Speedy. Do better!

Especially coming from a school that no longer even has a football program!

I do think coach Ford zinged him back...unless it was just a coincidence...
In complimenting Edmead, he said "If you want to see him next year, I suggest you buy the Big East package".

Amazing how quickly I went from feeling like this program has hit rock bottom...(I was a fan during the first days of D1...and I was there for Warney/NCAA dancing, etc.)...to now thinking this team has something...something worth watching at least and the potential to make some noise.

The near win against UNC-W...and now these 2 impressive wins against good teams...

But this same team also put up 37 points a few weeks ago.

It should be interesting, at least.

This crazy turnover each season regarding the roster means the team needs to gel...but also as fans we don't really know what we have until things settle a bit. I'm not sure which team is the real team yet. In years past we at least had some historical context.  I do miss watching players develop.

I feel better about the team than I did 2 weeks ago.

First game attended this season, with my son. We usually attend more, but it's been a busy last few months and I admit the enthusiasm on our part had been a little down based on the team's record.

I really didn't know much about the team this year due to the extreme level of roster turnover, and I was judging them by their record. We actually got interviewed by WUSB for their tik tok in the arena lobby before the game. We were kind of taken by surprise and were asked for score predictions. While we hoped for an SB win, we predicted losses based on the record. 

Well, I feel bad about that for sure!  I wish I could take that one back...but I guess only several people will ever see it! These guys worked really hard. Snoody's performance, especially after that scary injury was inspiring. O'Connor looks like the real deal.  CJ looks impressive. 

Not sure how far the team will go, but they seem like a good bunch of guys who work hard and play for each other and have each other's backs out there.

I don't know much about Geno Ford other than I always read of him getting a lot of flak on here  :D

But, his post game interview sounded like he's a coach who knows his stuff, has a plan, etc.  I guess that just means he says the right things publicly...who knows...

What I hate most is, at this level, not making it to the dance means the season will be forgotten by the general public (not us). No big news story, no banner.  A shot or 2 makes the difference between making history and it just being another season that is largely forgotten by most.

Any chance they get an NIT or other invite based on how they finished the season?

Oh man. So proud of this team. Didn't deserve to go down like this. I feel like this team earned it more than the Warney team even, and I was there for that game. Much harder gauntlet they had to go through in the CAA tournament versus America East that year. This team never quit. The clock just ran out on them.

Great fight. When we get hit hard we fight harder instead of getting discouraged. Still possible!

14
Can't ask for more from them than what we've seen so far. Especially considering this is their 4th game in 4 days. I love the fight and spunk. Whatever happens, I'm proud. But it's there if they can keep this up!

I love the character of this team!
