Becoming a professional athlete is every little kid’s dream. And while no Seawolves have made it to the NBA at this point, that dream has still become a reality for many of them overseas.
Dave Coley and Eric McAlister both signed professional contracts over the summer. Coley will go to Slovakia to play with BK Iskra Svit, while McAlister heads to Denmark to play with Team FOG Naestved.
The search for the Seawolves’ next starting point guard has extended its reach to Longwood University’s Lucas Woodhouse, who, as of earlier this month, is transferring to Stony Brook.
For the second straight season, the Stony Brook Men’s Basketball team had their NCAA tournament dreams crushed by Albany. The Great Danes came into a hostile Pritchard Gymnasium on Saturday and exited with their second consecutive America East title.
The Seawolves are headed home, but for all the right reasons. SBU squeezed by the Hartford Hawks 69-64, earning a spot to compete for the America East Championship—and their first NCAA tournament bid—against Albany at Stony Brook.
