SBU Men's Basketball / Re: Game 9: at Duquesne, 12/6 2pm, ESPN+

Only watched the second half but I liked what I saw.  Refs gave the game away on the nonsense foul against Brown on the 3 with under a minute to go.  Liked the hustle, smart ball movement, hanging around with an A10 team.  When Brown is on we can compete with most schools.  They are going to continue to struggle against mobile big men, this time it was Hugley. They will lose a few games for this reason alone.

Stony Brook has a good team. I like it.

Is it me? Or are the ESPN announcers actively rooting for LMU?

Pratt's on fire! Need someone else to step up and help him out.

Lot of good names thrown around here, blasts from the past.  Tommy Brenton was the most underrated Seawolf in my opinion, he is the ultimate example of why box score stats don't tell the full story

The only "Brown" player I care about is Rob Brown III.  With some consistency I am hoping we can recreate the Dave Coley, Anthony Jackson backcourt from ten (ish) years ago. Of course, didnt hurt that Warney was there too ..

I was at to the game.  Kudos to Stony Brook for an encouraging effort against a bigger, stronger Yale team. Nick Townsend is a very good player and they really struggled with him. Big, strong forwards will be a challenge to guard all season.

Good athletic performance by SB. This is the Eric Pratt show now, which is fine, give the ball to your best player. But maybe a little too much iso. Pratt picked up two quick fouls and had to come off for a few minutes and I felt like ball movement may have improved during that time. Also there were like 3 or 4 shot clock violations, cant have that.

Size is going to be an ongoing issue, there will be many games where they will have to live or die by the three, and basically have to be perfect rebounding, and they gave up a couple of offensive rebounds that should never have happened.  Kojenets needs to be more aggressive using his size to muscle those boards.  Good effort though.

Geno Ford is animated, always teaching and communicating throughout the game. 

Brown seems streaky, if he can get going as a 1-2 guard punch with Pratt, this team has the depth and talent to be competitive in the CAA. Really like Butler and Valentiny off the bench. This felt like a winnable game, honestly I thought Yale was going to be better.

Biggest pops- Mullin draining an open three (his first after being 0-4) after SB cut it to 4 with 2 minutes left.  That was the dagger. Also, the Yale Club Jump Rope team who put on a ridiculously cool halftime show. I had no idea that was a thing.

Cool, so we are apparently a smidge better than D-III Farmingdale State.

Loving this new "landscape".

At least we are undefeated.
