Men’s Basketball Falls in Final Seconds at North Carolina A&T

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Stony Brook men's basketball fell in the final seconds at North Carolina A&T, 73-72, on Saturday afternoon at the Corbett Sports Center.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • After jumping out to an early 26-25 advantage, Stony Brook went on a 7-0 run with 4:44 left in the first half, culminating in a three from Leon Nahar, to increase its lead to 33-25. 
  • The Seawolves lost some of that lead, but still entered halftime with a 38-33 advantage. 
  • Stony Brook relied on its three-point shooting in the period, knocking down seven shots to account for 21 of its 38 first-half points.
  • The Aggies rallied to start the second half, erasing their deficit and building an 11-point lead with 12 minutes to play.
  • The Seawolves, led by CJ Luster II, fought hard to battle back and make it a one-point game with six minutes to play.
  • N.C. A&T proceeded to take a 72-65 lead before Stony Brook went on a 7-0 run, capped off by Andre Snoddy's three, to even the score at 72 all with 52 seconds to go in the contest.
  • The Seawolves then had what could have been the final possession, but after an O'Connor miss from three, A&T's Cam Shell fired a pass down the court that led to a shooting foul with 0.6 seconds remaining. 
  • Ogletree made the first free throw and missed the second, running the clock out on a 73-72 victory for the Aggies.
STATS AND NOTES
  • Luster matched Lamothe for a game-high 23 points. Luster scored all of his points in the second half, shooting 6-for-11 from the floor and 7-for-7 at the free throw line in the period.
  • Snoddy registered his seventh double-double of the season and his second straight with a 14-point, 13-rebound performance. He has tallied double-digit points and rebounds in four of his last five games.
  • The Seawolves knocked down 12 threes, eclipsing double-digit makes from three-point range for the fifth time this season. Stony Brook is now 0-3 against league opponents this season in games where it makes at least 10 shots from beyond the arc and 2-3 overall this season in such instances.
  • Stony Brook moves to 4-2 all-time against N.C. A&T, snapping a four-game winning streak against the Aggies. The Seawolves move to 0-2 all-time against the Aggies in Greensboro.
QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Really frustrating and difficult loss today. We struggled to get stops until the last five minutes when we came up with several good possessions. We had the ball with a chance to win it, missed and then didn't rotate back in transition, which is inexcusable at this point," head coach Geno Ford said. "Hopefully we can find a way to rebound better on Monday against a deep and athletic Hampton team."

UP NEXT

Stony Brook hits the road again, heading to Hampton to face off with the Pirates on Monday, February 24. Tip-off is scheduled for 12 pm in Virginia and the contest will stream live on FloCollege.
