B1G Home and Away

who mandated it Pikiell or Hobbs?

It was, I believe, mandated by the buyout in Pikiell's Stony Brook contract. I read an article about it but I'm out and can't find it right now.

Stony Brook

I don't think it is a big deal. I think it is nice that Steve gets to go back to Stony Brook where he had much success. I believe they lose their top 3 scorers or 3 of their first 4. The offense ran through Warmley. Hopefully we are healthy and I think we should be able to win there.

I would imagine that Stony Brook will make a big deal about it with a presentation on the court either before or after the game. The good news is that if Coach P gets snowed in and can't get back to Piscataway that he will be snowed in WITH his team so no feathers will get ruffled.

Phil...

I said remaining HOME OOC sked...

You missed America East. Stony Brook is a member of that Conference...but we play them on the road.

Ahhh....how can I forget about Suny Albany from America East.....

It is Stony Brook. Home and home (away this year) mandated by Pikiell's contract.

This is something that is becoming the new normal when a MM coach is hired by a HM. Helps the MM team's RPI, in theory. Helps the HM avoid part of the buyout.

Of course with the way we have performed the last couple years it will probably drive their RPI in the opposite direction

I saw Maryland announced their non conference schedule, and Stony Brook is at Maryland on November 22.
