COURTESY OF STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY Having seemingly stymied the Bryant Bulldogs with a defensive zone, it appeared as if the Stony Brook men’s basketball team was on its way to victory after dropping two in a row to St. John’sand Hofstra. Instead, a second-half lead vanished and the Seawolves dropped their third straight, 81-72, on Saturday, Dec. 12 at the Chace Athletic Center in Smithfield, Rhode Island, falling to 1-4 on the season. “I thought we played with a lot of intensity in the middle part of the game,” head coach Geno Ford said in a postgame press conference. “[We] got off to a slow start, were able to wrestle the lead back by halftime, and then in the second half had a nice lead, and it just kind of unraveled. We couldn’t stop the bleeding.”
