Stony Brook

Perhaps the easiest way to describe a Stony Brook team that hasn't appeared on national TV: think Western Kentucky 2009, on a smaller scale. Pikiell plays four strong, quick guards that prefer hard drives to the hoop over deep bombs. (Even though Stony Brook led the America East in three-point field goal percentage in conference games.) "I have some New York City guards, guys that get to the basket," said Pikiell, a former UConn team captain that teaches the same aggressive mentality as coach Jim Calhoun.
