Stony Brook appears to be rocking

The school hastily prepared the larger arena for play after America East officials informed Stony Brook a bigger facility was needed for the conference tournament championship game.

"We're real excited," Pikiell said. "The students are excited. We're selling a lot of tickets right now."

The Seawolves lost in the conference tournament semifinals to preseason favorite Boston University. But against Illinois, Stony Brook will play in the larger arena for the first time in two seasons.

A sellout is expected.
