7:00pm, Pritchard Gym
Previous game: L 67-60 at Binghamton, 1/5
The Black Bears are led offensively by junior guard Mark Socoby, who averages 12.9 points per game and was an all third-team America East selection last year.
The teams other big offensive threat is true freshman Gerald McLemore, who comes into the game averaging 12.5 points per game. McLemore's scoring average leads all freshman in the conference. Stony Brook's Bryan Dougher is just behind him with an average of 12.4 per game.
The Seawolves look to continue its great defensive play. Stony Brook is first in the conference in scoring defense, allowing only 59.3 points per game, which is four points better than the #2 team.
They are also first in 3-point field goal percentage defense, limiting opponents to only 30% from beyond the arc.
The other key to Stony Brook's success has been the way they have protected the ball. The Seawolves average turnover margin of +3.64 is far and away the best in the conference. Contributing to that is Stony Brook's conference leading 8.7 steals per game.
