The Stony Brook men's basketball team has received significant
attention from multiple media outlets during the preseason as
the 2011-12 regular season rapidly approaches. Many publications
have picked the Seawolves atop the America East after the team
came within two points of winning the league title last season.
The Sporting News College Basketball Preview magazine lists the
Seawolves as the favorites to win America East and also named
senior Bryan Dougher a preseason All-America East player, junior
transfer Ron Bracey the conference's top newcomer and head coach
Steve Pikiell the conference's top coach.
The Lindy's College Basketball Preview magazine also named Stony
Brook the preseason favorite to win the league, selected Dougher
as an All-Conference player and named junior Tommy Brenton the
league's top rebounder.
In the CBSSports.com Conference Preview, Jeff Goodman has also
picked the Seawolves as America East's top team and named
Dougher to the All-Conference team.
Lastly, Lindy's College Basketball Preview magazine had the
Seawolves second behind defending champion Boston University and
named Brenton to the preseason All-Conference team.
The official America East preseason rankings and All-Conference
team will be revealed on Thursday, Oct. 13 at the league's
annual media day.
Pikiell, in his seventh season as the head coach, returns 12
letterwinners from last season's team that reached its
first-ever America East Championship final and came within two
points of winning the title. The Seawolves will open preseason
practice Oct. 14 and will play their first game Nov. 11 at
Indiana. The home schedule begins Nov. 13 against Mount Ida.
Individual game and season tickets are now available through the
Stony Brook Athletics ticket office. For more information, visit
GoSeawolves.org/tickets or call (631) 632-WOLF.

RTC Conference Review puts the Seawolves Tied for #1 with
Boston. They go farther ahead and predict a #15 Seed... Oh boy.
I don't even know if our team is as good as this Preseason
reviews are making it seem. I hope we can live up to the hype

I really think we need someone to have a break out season if we
are going to win the conference. Imo several guys have 1st team
all conference potential so hopefully one or more of them have
big years.

Very true. Should be an intriguing season.

Hopefully either Mayo or Mac Allister step up their games. If
they can start scoring on a consistent basis we will be in
good shape.

I'm convinced that one day it will click and MacAllister will
realize that he's the most athletic big in our conference and
start playing with some confidence.
Coley, Mayo, and MacAllister all have ceilings as high as anyone
in the conference. That could be a special class if they can
figure it out.
