       I'm a little late to this discussion. I believe lack of student
       interest is a valid concern, but let's not lose sight of the
       fact that SB blew Hofstra off the court last night and looked
       terrific doing so. Best game of the year. I know that 46% from
       three is not sustainable, but with that overall effort SB might
       be a tough out in the AE after all.  :)

       Great point. If the team plays like they did against Hofstra the
       rest of the season the arena will be selling out come February.

       > Part of the problem (how large is subject to debate), is that
       SBU basketball has evolved into a transfer/juco program. The
       resurrection of the program took place with primarily 4-year
       guys going back to the Dougher, Brenton, Joyner teams...rolling
       into the Warney years. Not saying the support still shouldn't be
       there, but not the same vibe today.

       Certainly a fair point, and part of the problem.  The Bball
       program took quite the hit 2 years ago, when
       Garcia/Olaniyi/Otchere/Foreman/Latimer all decided to pick up
       and transfer.  Of course, the full impact of that happening
       turned out to be severely overshadowed by Covid,  Tough to
       retain talent as a mid-major in this new NCAA environment.

       I maintain that we would have won the league and eventually
       gotten ranked had we been able to keep that group together
       longer. What could have been....
