McGrew's mom passed away right before the game against
Princeton.
Newsday:
Rayshaun McGrew found triumph in his sea of tragedy on Saturday.
The Stony Brook senior tri-captain got crushing news by
telephone only about an hour before the Seawolves’ game against
unbeaten Princeton: His mother had passed away. Her fight
against breast cancer was over.
The 6-7 swingman was devastated when he told coach Steve
Pikiell, but he would not accept his offer to be excused. He
found the strength to compose himself and turned in an inspiring
18-point, seven-rebound performance to lead SBU to a 91-77 win
before 3,187 at IFCU Arena.
Jameel Warney had 26 points and 15 rebounds for his 12th
straight double-double dating to last season. He shot 11-for-14
and added nine blocked shots and five assists. Roland Nyama
scored 15 points, all in the second half, and Bryan Sekunda
added 12 on four three-pointers as the Seawolves (4-2) won their
third straight. Henry Caruso and Devin Cannady scored 16 apiece
for the Tigers (4-1).
“My sister actually called me right before the shootaround,”
McGrew said. “[Pikiell] asked me if I was still able to play the
game, but I didn’t want to let the team down . . . We’d worked
hard all week. I didn’t just want to throw it all away and not
be able to help my team win. So I played for her.”

Wow. May she rest in peace. I've enjoyed watching her son play
ball.

McGrew played a very strong game, which is even more impressive
under the circumstances.
Warney was a monster. He was exhausted by the end of the game,
and for very good reason. He did EVERYTHING. The most
impressive thing he did wasn't even physical. Puriefoy got
called for a touch foul (in fairness, it was a legit foul), and
he started to let the frustration get to him. Warney stepped in
and got him out of there before he got t'd and tossed. That's
leadership that doesn't show in the box score, but is really
important
This was a great win. Especially because Princeton plays a very
similar game to Vermont. This is a great sign for the
conference season.
