Penn state and Towson are SB's toughest games and PSU is barely ranked. The thing is they are definitely skilled enough to play those teams.


SBU beat USC, Stanford, NU, Towson and Denver. All top 25 teams. They have Penn State, Hopkins and Cornell left. Again, all top 25 teams. Their conference is weak, they can't help it. They have tried to keep Florida and ND on they schedule, those two schools backed out.

SBU has a competitive and challenging schedule. Some of their non-conference scheduled teams are having down years. Can't help it. Schedule was made last year. They are #1 and should hold the spot until they lose. Seeding for tournament ? We will see.

They backed out of Florida***

Florida is far from a powerhouse. Losing to Towsend, Syracuse and a one goal win against Vanderbilt


There is no question that Stony Brook is a very good team and that their coach is a very good. However, they have absolutely been over hyped in recent years and their regular season winning percentage has much to do with a weak schedule. As pointed out in an earlier post the majority of top programs play considerably tougher schedules. The facts don't lie. SBU has finished the year in the top 8 one time.

Take another look:

2014: 16-3 going in. Lost to Syracuse in round of 16.

2015: 18-1 going in. Lost to Princeton in round of 16.

2016: 15-3 going in. Lost to Syracuse in round of 16.

2017: 18-1 going in. Lost to Maryland in round of 8.

2018: ??? )-

If Stony Brook was not over hyped and over ranked all those years the only conclusion you can come to is ...

Stony Brook has under achieved.
