a digusting foul by our team blew that up. How you just bag
someone up like that. That pissed me off. I think that threw the
whole game out the window for SB. After that we lost total
control of the game...

Agree it was a chickensh...t thing to do but while not condoning
it I'll bet something beforehand that the cameras didn't catch
precipitated it (which still doesn't make it acceptable). But
blaming the loss on that is too convenient. Depth is supposed to
be one of our big strengths, esp up front...so we crumble at the
loss of Carter? SB played poorly and IU played great...and they
will be much improved in the B10. Write it down.

No i'm not trying to blame it on that alone. I just think that
after the foul the team kinda lost of control of the game. They
were playing very well and it was a competitive game up to that
point.

This really tempers my expectations for a breakout season. SBU
played like AE cellar dwellers. Sure, they can still win the
conference, but based on what I saw tonight, one-and-done in the
NCAAs at best. I don't care who had an "off night." You don't
lose by 30 to an unranked team and keep expectations high.

Wow, not sure what your expectations are...final four? If we win
the conference championship and make it to the big dance for the
first time in school history I'll consider that a wildly
successful season. Maybe we've forgotten that only 4 years ago
SB was one of the worst D1 teams in the country. Since then,
we've won the regular season championship, played in the NIT,
and last year made it to the conference title game.
If you're unsure of the vast differences between the B10 and AE,
look no further than Assembly Hall and Pritchard. Hoped we would
have played better last night but didn't happen...and IU is
good. Need to take care of business in tomorrow's annoyance game
and move on and keep improving.

No Seawolfemeritus...no expectations to make the final four
(although mid-majors like George Mason, Butler, and Virginia
Commonwealth have done it). Just to play and earn respect.
Unfortunately, that was not achieved last night.

I tend to agree with what has already been posted. I did think
SB started the game prepared to play and executed well off the
jump. As the game wore on IU was just able to get the types of
shots they want. I was surprised at that given the defensive
reputation. As an IU fan I was pleased with some things but
still have a couple concerns. But either way, it is just 1
game, don't get too down on your team yet (as I'm not going to
start having visions of conference titles and sweet 16's).
I hope the poster that made the trip to Btown enjoyed it.
Thank you to all for welcoming me to the board this week. I
wish Stony Brook nothing but success this year. I hope to check
back again at some point later in the season for an update.

More to chew on: As I mentioned earlier, SB lost to a better,
bigger/stronger more athletic opponent. However, there were
also positives you can take from the game. Obviously the first
12 minutes showed that this team can play well at the highest
level. Consistently doing this is the challenge. The bench is
extremely deep, giving you 40 points. Rouse, Jackson and Rapier
all gave you something, and Coley/McAlister will give you more
usually. The key is getting the perimeter players off, and
against that type of talent, it's tough. Again I stress that
running Dougher off the ball to get shots will help, although
there's not really anyone to play the PG when that happens.
Jackson clearly can score, but he seems more comfortable looking
for his shot than creating one for others. Also, Joyner and
Rapier are clearly better posting up this season, and will find
it easier in the conference. Carter's mistake hurt; not
expected from a Senior. I wouldn't be surprised to find out he
was retaliating for an earlier "love tap" from Zeller, but
that's no excuse......I guess the 1 minute Mayo received says he
is not redshirting, although I saw King on the bench out of
uniform, so I guess he may be.

I'm not expecting anything more than a NCAA berth.. lol...
Coming out from the America East I can't expect anymore from the
Seawolves for now. If they get to the NCAA, we need to be real
proud. Actually, all i truly care about it continuing to be
competitive in the America East and consistently competing for
the AE championship
No one should have NCAA second round or better aspirations yet.
We building this team year by year. Lets take it easy and
understand how it works. We as fans have to be happy with what
we are currently accomplishing. This is a 12 year division I
program playing with the Elites in front of a 16,000 away crowd.
Even the lost is a positive because a few years ago we wouldn't
even schedule teams in the top six conferences. Yes, I was a bit
pissed yesterday because of the Carter foul but those things
happen.
We as fans have to use this tough games as a way to measure our
team against the top teams
We getting a new arena soon. We are improving little by little
hoping that one day we can move to a better Conference. But
right now, we have to worry about our conference and competing
against them.
Go Seawolves
Go Seawolves

By the way, I am now a fan if for nothing else than your mascot.
I like unique mascots. I looked up the origin and I think it
is cool that you came up with something different.
'Hoosiers' has been confusing everyone for years, and we of
course don't even have a mascot since a Hoosier is really just
someone from Indiana.
