       Should be very interesting next Friday night.  Great time to
       play Indiana, much better early in the season.  Their best
       player (Maurice Cheek) is hurt, and it's doubtful that they will
       be as pumped up as Stony Brook.....on a somewhat related topic,
       I just saw this on ESPN NY:

       This is a very winnable game for SBU.   Had to get the Big Ten
       Network  on cable to watch it-Channel 720  anyone has it.

       I see SBU as having a punchers chance. Indiana is still the Big
       10, has had a couple of strong recruiting classes, has an
       excellent coach who will turn the program around, and a big home
       court advantage. The reality is that Indiana and SBU recruit
       from two different pools of athletes, and schools at the mid to
       bottom of the Big 10 are still highly advantaged over the top of
       the AE. I'm no oddsmaker but figure Indiana 12-15 pt favorites.
       Having said that, would love to see our guys play a highly
       competitive game, possibly steal a win.

       Yeah I have my doubts over this game being winnable. Its going
       to be closer than Uconn vs SB last year for example, but I am
       not sure if we going to win it. Important thing is to compete
       and get ready for the more important part of the season.

       We went out a beat Penn St  a few years  ago with a much less
       talented team.  We also gave Illinois fits in the NIT  Opener
       losing 78-68.   Illinois is far better  that Indiana I like our
       chances  for the upset. No  dumb turn overs or  careless fouls.

       True. We did play hard against Illinois, which was a good team
       and we almost pulled it off. A memorable game, one to remember
       in the arena. Hopefully we can have a game like that at Stony
       Brook in the near future.

       I think this game, like all four of our games against high major
       schools, is winable. With that said we are definite underdogs
       heading into the game. Indiana has had a couple weak years, but
       like someone said earlier, they still recruit at a high level
       and have a good coach. I'm thinking we'll have one upset in our
       games against Indiana, Northeastern, Boston College, and
       Rutgers. We should be good enough that we'll get enough bounces
       on one of those nights to pull off the upset. At least that's
       I'm hoping for heading into the season.

       Excellent points sbufan. One upset win would be great...two
       would be phenomenal. But the reality is we're looking for wins
       against Big 10, Big East and ACC schools. I'm hopeful but it's
       asking a lot.
