This was an interesting week for Stony Brook. It went 1-1 for its only week against ranked teams; exciting win at Syracuse in OT, disappointing loss to a good John Hopkins squad at home. It’s the only real gauge for this team for the season. The balance of the schedule is against CAA teams and non-ranked non-conference games. Any loss is a “bad” loss from now until the tournament.
Why is that interesting? Isn't that usually the case for Stony Brook? Their schedule has never been on par with other traditional Top 10 Programs. Over the years Stony Brook has had a weak record verse Top 10 opponents and an abysmal record vs Top 5 opponents. That said, maybe this is the year they finally get over the hump.
