Re: Game 10: vs. Brown, 12/7 7pm

I thought that Brown had 2 exceptional players: Choh and
Anderson (who didn't shoot particularly well, but is extremely
ellusive), but they didn't have enough fire power against our
solid D.
I've been holding back on praising Elijah this season, because
he still takes some deep 3's out of rhythm, but seeing him live
tonight, seeing how hard he works on the court, I can do nothing
less than tip my cap to him. He has really worked on his
shooting, and has embraced his lead role on this team. An
awesome night for him, despite getting knocked around all night
physically.
I love what Geno is doing (so far) with his roster. He gave
meaningful minutes tonight to Chef, Mac, and TPP, all of whom
played well. The one thing that really turns me on about this
team is DEPTH. Any of 3 or 4 or 5 players can lead the team in
scoring on any given night, and looks like we have 9 who will
play regularly. Geno is mixing it up nicely so far.
3 stars tonight for Elijah, 2 for Makale and Garcia, and 2 for
Mo, who I thought was an absolute defensive force tonight, and
had 7 dimes, some of which were amazingly creative.
I think this team is ready for its tough, upcoming road
schedule.
P.S. Almost 3,000 tonight at the arena.

Newsday article on game:
Elijah Olaniyi's 30 points lift Stony Brook over Brown
By Brian Heyman
Special to Newsday
Updated December 7, 2019 10:09 PM
Saturday night’s game against Brown began like no other this
season for Stony Brook. Elijah Olaniyi was parked on the bench.
The Seawolves’ top scorer hadn’t practiced the previous two days
because of a neck strain. He called his coach, Geno Ford, at
around 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon and said he still couldn’t
turn his neck but wanted to play. He soon texted Ford and said
he was playing.
Ford sent him in after three minutes of the game had passed, and
Olaniyi turned in the best game of his college life.
The 6-5 junior guard lit up Island Federal Arena, hitting six
threes and scoring a career-high 30 points to power Stony Brook
to a come-from-behind 79-63 win.
“Coming into this game, I actually was a little defeated, just
bad timing, upset with myself,” Olaniyi said. “But then when the
trainers told me I had an opportunity to play, it was like half
of it was mental. I just kept telling myself, ‘Hey, you’re good.
You’re good. You’re good.’ ”
He indeed is good. He averaged 12.3 points last season. Now he’s
at 19.7 points. He has led the Seawolves to a 7-3 start. This
time, he shot 11-for-15 overall and 6-for-8 from behind the arc.
“He does a lot of things really well, but his best
characteristic as a person is his toughness, and I love him to
death,” Ford said. “And his other characteristic is
stubbornness. He is mentally tough. He’s physically tough. He’s
just a winner.”
Olaniyi hit a three 22 seconds into the second half to give
Stony Brook a 36-27 lead. Tamenang Choh, who paced the Bears
with 19 points, countered with a three and a layup to get it
down to four.

But Andrew Garcia responded with a three, and the Seawolves
began to build the lead again, using a 10-2 run to go up 44-34.
Stony Brook remained in control from there. When Olaniyi hit his
sixth three, Stony Brook led by 14 at 58-44. When Miles Latimer
hit a three, the margin was up to 17 at 66-49. When Makale
Foreman hit a three, the cushion had inflated to 20 at 71-51.
The Seawolves finished with 14 threes and 22 assists.
They had been ineffective early in the game. Brown (5-4) grabbed
a 20-10 lead, But Stony Brook took over at that point, going on
a distance 23-7 run to close the half, good for a 33-27 lead.
“This was an elite offensive performance for where we are in the
season,” Ford said.
Foreman chipped in with 17 points. Now the Seawolves have some
tough road work ahead — against Hofstra, Providence and
defending national champ Virginia.
“I think it’s going to challenge us,” Foreman said. “We’ve got
good team chemistry. I think going into this stretch will be
good for us.”
Olaniyi said it’s about something else as well.
“I feel like this three-game away [stretch], we have a chance go
and earn some respect right here,” Olaniyi said. “In years past,
I don’t think anybody respects us. We know the talent we have in
our locker room, but I don’t feel like other teams know that.
This is a great opportunity to go show that.”

I watched it on SNY but think it was also on ESPN+ - the replay
should be up there.
As an aside for anyone who watched the broadcast - was the
sideline reporter as unprepared and unpolished as I felt she
was?

Who was she? I'm not going to lie – at the game, it was kind of
cool having a legit station covering one of our games. And she
wasn't ugly – from 100 feet away anyway but a safe assumption as
it's TV. I'm sure SNY just gets a bunch of kids just barely out
of Syracuse to do these gigs.

I think she's cute. But I also think this is exactly what SB
needs to get the name brand out. keep winning games, brag about
it and let the nation know this program id for real!!!

I saw her at the game, and she was cute and very young. At the
risk of sounding sexist (and being banished for 5 years from
this board by CoB), it appears more and more that TV sports
programming is focusing on eye candy in football and basketball,
at the expense of quality analysis. There are certainly some
really good female analysts out there, but I am seeing more that
are just being hired for their good looks alone, IMO.

Most definitely they are going for good looks, but why not? If
she can appeal to the mainstream audience, manly man, and
actually sounds like she knows what she is saying, i say go for
it. Cant get in trouble if the female has all the tangibles for
the job and assets!! lol.
