O.K. guys this is what I think is the problem with our team.
NOTHING IS THE PROBLEM WITH OUT TEAM,!! We have a great
basketball program and a great coaching, however the problem is
with this damn America East Conference we are stuck in. Our
program will never get better or rise to the next level if we
continue to play in a weak conference against weak teams. If a
child grows up in a ghetto, odds are he will always be poor and
get in trouble with the law and never get to see how the other
side lives. same is true with our program. If we don't compete
against real good teams every week then how can you improve and
get better to be just like the rest of them ?? You are only as
good as everyone else around you unless you break away and start
hanging out with better people, in this case better teams !!!!..
Please, lets get to the A10 and become a high major school and
not this mid major crap.... Correct me if I am wrong someone
!!!!!!!

Hammer our program will rise in the America East. I used to
think the same way until I saw the magical run we pulled in
baseball to the CWS. We as a program gotta schedule harder,
commit to better facilities, grow the fan base, market the
programs, and become the Gonzaga of the America East. Yes, it
may sound laughable to say such thing. Gonzaga of the America
East sounds far and unlikely but still possible. What would be
the WCC without Gonzaga? A regular one-bid conference. But the
strength and development of that program has led to the
development of the enitire conference.
We can do it in the AE for now. We'll prove sooner than later.
That's why I don't really care much about losing to Albany and
blah blah blah. If you have the right ingredients then you are
bound to get there.
Also to finish it off: Just about my entire family lived in the
Bronx and the DR at some poing. I myself still live in South
Bronx as of now (unfortunately. Will get out soon). Out of a
family of 28 cousins we have 27 (last one is on its way. I used
cousins because in my family cousins are like siblings.) who
attended 4-year school, 10 who received Graduate schooling, and
2 PhDs. Doctors, Lawyers, entrepreneurs, dentists, professors,
speech therapist (my sister), computer Scientist (me), chemical
engineers, mechanical engineers, JUST about everything. If we
were able to defeat the odds of living in one of the poorest
neighborhoods in the United States then ANYONE can do it. Hard
work and determination and sticking to your values gets you
there sooner than later.
And that is what Stony Brook Athletics has done so far. No
cutting corners, if we have to take the long way we'll take the
longer way. But we will get there. This is why I love Stony
Brook so much. Look at our history, we achieved so much in a bit
more than 56 years. Amazing!
LETS GO SEAWOLVES
P.S: Just remember. You make your own odds. If you work hard and
stick to your values then you will make it no matter what. This
is why this country is so awesome. If you decide to stick to
statistics or choose to cut corners you will never achieve real
success. That's my philosophy, our entire Family's philosophy.
Has worked great so far. ;)

I must say that I'm 100% with Ecasado on this one--as I grew up
on the wrong side of the tracks myself. But, personal anecdotes
aside, I remember last year about this time that so many were
singing the blues and wondering how we'd ever survive without
Dougher and Joyner!! Yet, this team has managed to outdo the
last by winning more games than in any other season, and winning
their first post-season tournament game ever. If you check the
record, there has been some measurable improvement in every
successive season.
My money is on Nyama, Braley and Mitchell adding yet another
measure of quality to the team and bringing us to the next
milestone, with of course, Warney, Pureifoy, Coley and Jackson
leading the way.

We played tough last night and the numbers showed it. Nothing to
be ashamed of this season. I think we are better next year
with new faces coming in and guys like Tres, Warney and King
post season veterans already. We will be fine . DONT put MT IDA
on our schedule next year please !

ecasado SBU... You are correct, not everyone who lives in the
Ghetto stay and the ghetto and i should have put that in my
paragraph.. I guess as former Police Officer in the South Bronx
I always saw the bad side of people and not the good. But
again, you are correct and my apologies to people in who live i
the ghetto, that was not my intention.. I feel better about
saying that now so back to SB basketball........ I still believe
if they move to a better, stronger conference they will improve
at a faster rate then trying to be the king of the hill in the
AE !!!!! Gonzaga. and now FGCU are such examples that a small
under the radar school can do it, but those are rare
insistence....

Actually man i wasnt offended at all. I understood what you were
saying which is for the most part the reality of where i live.
My example was more to point out that sbu can defeat.hose odds
and still make it from a bottom feeder conference for now. Think
about this year. Our RPI was 69 at some point. What couldve
happened if we wouldve beated maryland, uconn, and seton hall
which were all competitive games. Did we have a chance for
at-large? Too bad we never gonna find out
Lets see if we can get over the hump next year and beat some top
50 teams. Gotta believe. Lool
We just need to break out a bit. Enough to get us good recruits
that would make a transition to a better conference smooth. I
think moving right now woukd be fatal. However, with two or
three NCAAs trip under our belt we can jump

Our final Kenpom rating is 58. Not too shabby. And the win over
UMASS was first ever over a top 100 team.....which is actually
kinda sad (after 13 years).....but better late than never,

What should be the proper way to move up:
1) Stay in the America East and start recruiting at a higher
level and getting talented recruits like Warney every year,
getting to the NCAAs one or twice
and then move out and transition smoothly to the higher
conference with a talented team
OR
2) Move out ASAP but not being able to recruit at the high-level
of the future conference and potentially having losing teams for
the next couple of years

Beating Iowa would have been quite an achievement given the
difference in talent. Warney is a stud signing for SB, but he's
an average recruit at Iowa.
