The seniors of Stony Brook Men's Basketball have one last chance to win an America East Championship on Saturday when Stony Brook faces No. 3 Vermont in IFCU Arena at 11 a.m.
With perhaps the most talented class of seniors facing one last chance at sending SBU to the NCAA Tournament, Steve Pikiell just wants his team to focus on the short-term.
For years, the NCAA has boasted that most collegiate athletes become professional players outside sports. But for former Seawolves Ben Resner and Brian Dougher, the game they love is now a profession.
Over his four years as a Stony Brook Seawolf, alum Ben Resner never flourished on the hardwood. Though he did not peak the interests of NBA front offices, he is more concerned with being a part of one.
Stony Brook University is expecting a new addition in the form of a new athletic and entertainment facility in fall 2014.
But Stony Brook Arena is not exactly new. According to a press release from May 2012, the university commenced a renovation of the 40,000 square foot arena. With a budget of $21.1 million, renovation began in June of 2012. According to the press release, the renovation “provides Stony Brook with a new opportunity to build relationships within the community.”
