Quotes . . .
Steve Pikiell
"Albany definitely was the better team tonight. They got the better of us today. We showed some good signs at times tonight, but we just got to be more consistent. We're going to plug away and get better. A lot of basketball is to be played."

Jameel Warney
"At the end of the day, we need to play harder. There were times when our effort was there and there also were times when it wasn't."

Rayshaun McGrew
"It's always a team effort when you talk about Stony Brook basketball. It's on all of us to step up and give more of an effort. The whole team needs to do more."
