STONY BROOK, N.Y. – The middle game of a three-game homestand comes Sunday afternoon to Island Federal Arena, as the Stony Brook men's basketball team plays host to Delaware for a 2 p.m. tip in the Winter Wonderland game.

The Seawolves are coming off a 12-point comeback on Wednesday night, rallying to take down LIU Brooklyn 83-79. Redshirt-junior Akwasi Yeboah (Chigwell, England) scored his 1000th point in a 24-point night and freshman Miles Latimer (Fairfax, Va.) added a career-high 18 in the win.
 
THE OPPONENT
Delaware enters the weekend with an 8-3 record and winners of its most recent contest, an 88-83 favorable decision against Saint Francis U at home. Eric Carter scored a career-high 33 points in the victory, shooting 12 for 14 from the field. He also grabbed 12 rebounds. Ithiel Horton, the reigning CAA Rookie of the Week, scored 15 on the night.

On the year, Carter and Horton are joined by Kevin Anderson as double-figure scorers for the Blue Hens. Carter leads them at 19.5 per game, while Horton sits at 14.1 and Anderson enters Sunday at 12.6. The Colonial members entered Friday's action 10th in the country in three-point percentage, hitting 41.9 percent of its shots from outside. They are 21st in overall field goal percentage at 49.8.

THE SERIES
Stony Brook and Delaware have never met on the basketball floor. Overall, the Seawolves are 12-20 against the Colonial Athletic Association.

CARDIAC SEAWOLVES
Of Stony Brook's nine wins this season, only one has come by more than 10 points, a 97-61 win over Molloy the night before Thanksgiving. Along with that, Stony Brook has completed a pair of second-half comebacks in which they were down by double figures, including a 12-point rally against LIU on Wednesday night.

1K-WAS
Redshirt-junior Akwasi Yeboah became the ninth player in Stony Brook's Division I history to reach the 1,000 point plateau, hitting a game-winning three with under a minute left to help him eclipse the milestone.

CLOSING THE DEAL
The Seawolves have rarely wasted an opportunity to put a team away under third-year head coach Jeff Boals. Stony Brook currently sits 31-3 when ahead with two minutes to play under the Ohio graduate and is 29-10, including 7-0 in 2018-19, when ahead after 20 minutes of action.

CHEF IS COOKIN'
Sophomore Anthony Ochefu had a career afternoon in Providence, R.I. on Saturday, accumulating 13 points and five rebounds, both of which were career highs. 
The double-figure effort is the West Chester native's second of the season, putting up 12 against South Carolina in the other such performance. He is currently shooting 64 percent from the field and 75 percent from the charity stripe in 12 minutes a game for the Seawolves.
