Shocked that St John’s didn’t make it. Kenpom rank of 25.  Poor Quad 1 record and/or anti-Pitino sentiment did them in. Next to SBU, I watched them the most this year.

Opponents who made the tournament: Charleston, Duquesne, Nebraska, Yale, Wagner and Michigan State. St. John's missed out, but it's still gotta be a record for us. I'd guess easily.

I only watched the first half of the game, but you could play the recording of that half to teams from pee-wee on up to illustrate how crisp passing > dribbling. Drexel moved the ball very well with smart passes and certainly benefited with hot hands from deep.

Saw a lot of dribbling into traffic and poor lob passes to well-guarded teammates from SBU. Looked a lot, too, like Drexel had a game plan on both ends that they executed well.

Assume the second half was somewhat the same, with the teams essentially playing to a draw in the box score. That 1st quarter blitz is what held. And, yeah, as someone who has followed both SBU basketball teams to some degree since the early 90's, you kind of get used to these outcomes.

Too many missed layups and way too many turnovers trying to force the ball into Pittman, who sadly couldn't get anything going. Not sure if they'll get an NIT bid or if they even deserve one, but I hope they get to play some more meaningful basketball.

I didn't even think it was an effort thing that led to the loss, really, because we were +15(!!!!) on the offensive glass and we fought hard to cause turnovers in the press in the fourth quarter. So many easy layups were blown on our end, which could be pressure. But also, we played exactly to the scout and got punished for it. Drexel shot 29% from three in the regular season, and then today they were 11-for-19 from 3, with so many banks and side-rim rolls in. Those are the shots that hypothetically, you want them to take from a defensive perspective because they're weak at it. Just a few too many bad passes on our end. Drexel had five players with 4 fouls for most of the fourth quarter and we still couldn't fully attack them.

And also, the broadcast said that the #1 seed hasn't won it on the women's side since 2017? What gives?

If anything, I think losing today keeps Langford here for us.

I just think the regular season should matter and the teams that perform better should have the advantage by playing the tournament on their home floor. Even if that would have meant that the men would have lost in the quarters. Both of these tournaments are watered down because subpar teams got hot, keeping deserving teams out.

Guessing we get a WNIT bid, but we’ll see if Langford’s on the sideline for it.

Just devastating. Can't win the men's tournament as the underdog, can't win the women's tournament as the overwhelming favorite 80 spots ahead of the closest conferencemate in NET.

Nothing good ever happens to Stony Brook. This is the kind of the week that really makes you question the purpose of still rooting for these Seawolves. Hooley was a decade ago now and yet his spirit still lingers. Just so hard to feel good about having gone to this godforsaken cursed school.

Dismal shooting percentages from the field. Way too many turnovers. Cue the AD- we fought hard till the end - we’ll be back next year

brutal.  missing bunnies, cant hit a three, drexel gets hot from deep. 

they look exactly like the men's team over the past 15 years- win a ton of games, collapse when it matters- culprit is not sharing the ball and missing low % shots. 

what's next- do we make a postseason tournament like the WNIT?
