Instead of playing a consolation game on Sunday at the ACHA National Championships, Newsday first reported the team left Cleveland before playing because of a Carbon Monoxide scare in the rink."The carbon monoxide situation was alarming since it's something that was dangerous and an area where none of us had knowledge in," Senior Assistant Captain Dan Capizzuto said via Facebook.

It's 12:30 and DJ Rivera is at Fridays. What's he doing out so late? Can Kevin Broadus keep his team under control? Slightly joking but it is late.

Foul trouble really hurt Stony Brook in the first half. They were forced to play 5 guys who most likely don't practice together. Also, they were a step slow on defense. I wonder if this was because they were exerting so much energy on offense, something they do not do often.I also think the team is using Danny Carter the wrong way. He should be sitting in the corner waiting for threes, not

Mayben trailed behind his two teammates and coach when entering the media room. He was hobbling and took his time to get to the podium. Obviously, the first question was, "Hey Tiki, how's your hip?""Let me answer that one for him," Coach Broadus cut him off. "He's fine, and he's practicing tomorrow morning at 6am."Looking back towards Mayben, "Whatever boss says," he deadpanned.Mayben also

The Hartford dance team and band are just like their team tonight. Fiesty and a little undermaned.Playing the popular "da da da da HEY!" arena song, the Bing fans chanted "You Suck!" to the beat. I'm not a music person, but that's embarrassing for the Hawks.

Maybe it's a red thing, maybe it's because Binghamton doesn't have the cleanest rep, but the Stony marching band is getting ready to unleash, and rooting for Hartford.

Breaking down the dance teams....BU, who I have seen live in action up in Boston, has a very attractive dance team, possibly the best looking in the conference.The UMBC dance squad, while not immediately as attractive, had much more diversity on their squad. BU gave off the vibe of having a bunch of pretty white girls, while the UMBC squad was filled with girls of all ethnicities. UMBC's team

Daryl Proctor finished the game with 33 points and 11 rebounds, while senior point guard Jay Green controlled the game, dishing out eight assists. Green did not make a field goal but played 45 minutes and only turned the ball over twice.Some notable quotes from the post game press conference:Daryl Proctor:"It's hard to beat a team three times, especially in overtime.

A clutch fall away jumper by UMBCs Daryl Proctor off a broken play with 2.5 seconds left sends BU and UMBC to overtime. The fans certainly got there moneys worth today. Well maybe not those Vermont fans who left rather quickly earlier today.

Sitting in fourth place in the America East, just under three weeks away from the tournament in Albany, the Seawolves should feel pretty good about themselves.The three teams in front of them, Vermont, Binghamton, and Boston University, have all but locked up the top three seeds in the tournament. They are the three highest scoring teams in the league, and use their skill to attempt to run the

Another nail biter for the Seawolves. Bryan Dougher hit a mid-range jumper with 5.7 seconds left to tie the score at 55. Vermont is #1 in the America East, and this just adds to the list of close games for the Seawolves.

A late goal in the second period has given Iowa St. a 4-3 lead over the Seawolves heading into the final period of play. Stony Brook pulled off the upset last night, winning by a score of 5-3. No one can really guess how the final coaches poll will turn out, but a second win against a Top-5 Iowa St. team would go a long way towards moving the Seawolves up from #18 to the 16th and final spot.If

Starts off with the pre-game introductions...... and it didn't end after 40 minutes thanks to a buzzer beating three-point shot by Muhammad El-AminChris Martin's strong play in the third overtime period nearly put the Seawolves in the win column, but a tough BU team was able to fight back and win after four over times.

After a thrilling 99-97 contest between the Seawolves and the Terriers, Coach Pikiell's opening statement at the post game press conference couldn't have summed up the game any better."Im exhausted. What a game. It's a shame somebody had to lose. Boston did a great job, they made big plays down the stretch, so did we."- Stony Brook Head Coach Steve Pikiell

This team is definitely a much better team than last years 7-23 (3-13 league play)debacle. So far, before league play, the team has a 5-5 record. This might be due in part to their difficult schedule. Other than Vermont--the favorite to win the conference, Stony Brook has probably played the toughest schedule with consecutive games against Hofstra and the number 2 team in the nation UConn.In the

We weren't poised in the first half. I thought we played a terrible first half. Demitrius, thank god showed up with some points. We were very emotional, the sign of a young team.
