The Stony Brook men’s basketball team was going to enter the America East Tournament on the road, regardless of the results of a weekend series at the Albany Great Danes on Feb. 20 and 21. Although success from beyond the arc in a first game win offered hope that the team was turning a corner, the Seawolves could not carry it over to the second game.
“Hopefully next weekend we can get hot, because we’re capable,” head coach Geno Ford said about the postseason after Sunday’s defeat. “Our defense and rebounding is way good enough to make a deep run in the tournament here, but we can’t be 3-for-19 [in shooting threes] and win.”
