BOSTON, Mass. — Stony Brook men's basketball was defeated by Northeastern, 71-60, on Saturday afternoon at Matthews Arena.
Andre Snoddy secured his sixth double-double of the season, scoring 20 points and grabbing a season-high 15 rebounds.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Sabry Philip started things with an exclamation point for the Seawolves, stealing a pass and jamming home a reverse slam on an uncontested fast break. Snoddy and Ben Wight followed with baskets to give Stony Brook the early 9-6 advantage less than four minutes into the action in Boston.
- The Huskies used an 11-3 run to grab a five-point advantage and continued to expand their lead throughout the rest of the first half.
- Northeastern's lead grew to double figures at the 3:40 mark and ballooned to 18 points in the final minute of first-half action.
- After a CJ Luster II trifecta opened play in the second stanza, Northeastern went on a 22-6 run to construct a 29-point advantage, 61-32, with less than 12 minutes to play.
- The Huskies maintained a 20-plus point gap between themselves and the Seawolves before a late push by Stony Brook.
- The Seawolves scored 26 of the final 30 points of the contest over the final six minutes of action, but the late surge was eventually ended by the final buzzer.
STATS AND NOTES
- Snoddy registered his sixth double-double of the 2024-25 campaign and his third in his last four games. He grabbed 15 rebounds, his most as a Seawolf.
- Snoddy tallied 20 points, reaching the 20-point plateau for the third time this season. He has scored in double-figures in seven of his last eight contests, increasing his season scoring average from 6.1 to 9.2 during the eight-game stretch.
- Snoddy's 15 rebounds are the most by a Seawolf since Frankie Policelli corralled 16 in Stony Brook's CAA Tournament victory over North Carolina A&T (March 4, 2023). He is also the first Seawolf since Policelli to register at least 20 points and 15 rebounds in a single game (Policelli: 30 points, 16 rebounds vs. North Carolina A&T on March 4, 2023).
- Collin O'Connor chipped in with 12 points and was Stony Brook's only other scorer in double figures. He added four assists, matching Snoddy for the team-high mark.
- O'Connor logged a full 40 minutes for the sixth consecutive game, becoming the first CAA player to do so since Hofstra's Juan'ya Brown did so in six straight games in the 2015-16 season.
- Northeastern outscored Stony Brook by 16 points over the span of the opening 20 minutes, thanks in part to a 55.2% (16-29) mark from the floor in the first half. The Seawolves shot 31% (9-29) in the opening half.
- The Huskies connected on 10 threes, the 11th opponent to do so against Stony Brook's defense this season. The Seawolves are 2-9 this season when opponents make 10 or more shots from beyond the arc.
- Northeastern evened up the all-time series history at 10-10.
