VESTAL, N.Y. — The Stony Brook men's basketball team exacted some revenge on Binghamton while playing without its leading scorer.

The Seawolves defeated the host Bearcats, 75-70, on Wednesday.

Miles Latimer's first basket of the night, a three-pointer with 1 minute, 52 seconds to go, gave Stony Brook a five-point cushion and the Seawolves held off Binghamton.

Binghamton's potential game-tying three-point attempt from Brenton Mills with nine seconds remaining was off the mark and Mouhamadou Gueye collected the rebound. Gueye then sank two free throws at the other end to secure the win.

Andrew Garcia contributed a career-high-matching 24 points.

Freshman Tyler Stephenson-Moore followed with 19 points and seven rebounds while making his fourth straight start.

Stony Brook avenged an 83-79 homecourt loss to Binghamton on Jan. 22.

In the rematch, the Seawolves won despite playing without leading scorer Elijah Olaniyi, who suffered an apparent ankle injury on Saturday at New Hampshire.

"I think we played about as well as we've played in a month. And it took it," coach Geno Ford said. "I thought Binghamton played really well. ... If we can keep that intensity, we'll be fine. We were missing Elijah, who is a terrific player, but a lot of guys stepped up for us to help us come away with a tough win."
