Good team. Then we can talk

Like the gentleman mentioned earlier. Unless SB can consistently play BIG 10 or ACC opponents, they are irrelevant. There is no comparison. Keep dominating Wagner and Hofstra! Kudos!

Exactly

Stony Brook gets a lot of attention on here so I thought I would point out some facts so that people can see actual results as opposed to hype or detest.

Since 2015 here is how Stony Brook has actually done. (Thats 5 full seasons, 1 abbreviated season, and the current season).

Overal Record............... 97 - 17

Record Vs Top 20......... 22 - 16 (Teams that finished season in Top 20)

Record Vs Top 10........ 7 - 14 (Teams that finished season in Top 10)

Vs Perennial Top 20.... 12 - 13

Perennial Top 20 (Teams that ended the season ranked in the Top 20 in each of the 5 years from 2015 thru 2019. Stony Brook is one of those 10 Teams). (ND, PSU, JMU were the only teams to finish Top 20 four times in the five years 2015 -2019).

Maryland................. 0 - 2
North Carolina......... 0 - 1
Syracuse................. 1 - 2
Princeton................. 1 - 2
Florida...................... 1 - 4
Boston College........ 1 - 1
Northwestern........... 4 -1
Penn........................ 1 - 0
Virginia..................... 0 - 0

Notre Dame............. 1 - 0
James Madison....... 1 - 0
Penn State............... 1 - 0

Love them or detest them, they are what they are. Stony Brook has been one of the 10 best programs for several years now but their Team Records and Individual Player Statistics have been skewed due to their conference competition or lack there of. Stony Brook has done a good job with their out of conference schedule but their overall schedule is still less challenging than the other Top Programs.

NCAA Tournament Results are what they are...

2013: # 10 at end of regular season. # 11 in the final Poll.. : They were 16 - 2 going into the tournament. - They Lost to Maryland in the round of 16.

2014: # 20 at end of regular season. # 20 in the final Poll.. : They were 16 - 3 going into the tournament. - They Lost to Syracuse in round of 16.

2015: # 6 at end of regular season. # 11 in the final Poll.. : They were 18 - 1 going into the tournament. - They Lost to Princeton in round of 16.

2016: # 7 at end of regular season. # 8 in the final Poll.. : They were 15 - 3 going into the tournament. - They Lost to Syracuse in round of 16.

2017: # 4 at end of regular season. # 4 in the final Poll.. : They were 18 - 1 going into the tournament. - They Lost to Maryland in round of 8.

2018: # 1 at end of regular season. # 5 in the final Poll.. : They were 19 - 0 going into the tournament. - They Lost to Boston College in round of 8.

2019: # 15 at end of regular season. # 12 in the final Poll.. : They were 15 - 4 going into the tournament. - They Lost to Maryland in the round of 16.

Stony Brook is a Top 10 Program, that puts SBU in some pretty good company.

Stony Brooks Schedule is a double edge sward, it helps with hype because there record is usually very good, it helps with player stats, recognition and accolades. On the other hand it does not prepare them for The NCAA Tournament.
