Stony Brook got off to a hot start and held off multiple comeback attempts by Albany to survive the first round of the America East Conference Tournament by a final score of 69-60 Saturday night at the State Employees Federal Credit Union Arena.
Albany junior guard Joe Cremo drained a heavily contested three-pointer on a bad ankle to cut Stony Brook Men’s Basketball lead to 32-26 with six seconds remaining in the first half.
