Stony Brook Hangs Tough, Ultimately Drops Battle at No. 3 Kansas - Stony Brook University Athletics - Stony Brook Athletics

Box Score LAWRENCE, Kan. — Tykei Greene recorded his first double-figure scoring game of the season and nine different players scored but the Kansas offense proved to be too much as the Seawolves fell to the No. 3 team in the country at Allen Fieldhouse Thursday night.

Stony Brook started strong, scoring nine of the first 11 points of the night to take a seven-point advantage. Three different Seawolves hit a triple to propel the start.
 


Kansas' lead got as big as six in the half but Stony Brook was able to respond, as Anthony Roberts hit Juan Felix Rodriguez for a layup to cut it to four with just over two minutes to go.
 
In the second stanza, the Seawolves traded shot for shot but the hosts were able to inch away. After the Seawolves cut the deficit to 11 with 12:18, the Jayhawks were able to ice the game away with a stretch of threes.

STATS AND NOTES

  • Greene hit double figures for the 32nd time in his career and first time this season. He finished the 2020-21 campaign with three consecutive 10-plus point outputs.
  • He also led the Seawolves in rebounding for the second consecutive night, hauling in nine. 
  • Payton Shumpert recorded his first career points as a Seawolf, knocking down back to back threes late in the contest.
  • Stony Brook was able to produce 11 second chance points on the night to Kansas' six.

QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"For 20 minutes we hung in and did a lot of good things. There were a lot more positives than negatives. In the second half they really got it going. The reason it was close in the first half was because we only had five turnovers and gave up three offensive rebounds. There were nine and nine of each in the second half so those two things totally flipped. Obviously give them credit. They're a great team and had a lot to do with our miscues but we have to get a little better" - head coach Geno Ford.

"For the most part, I thought it was a really good challenge for us, playing against one of, if not the best, team in the country. Going forward, we have to focus on staying locked in for 40 minutes. We have to do a good job of taking what we learned at practice and carry it over to games. As far as my performance, I just want to come in and bring energy to the team, even in the lowest moments. This lets us know that we have a really good chance to play in the tournament and we'll be ready for the conference." - senior forward Omar Habwe.

UP NEXT
Stony Brook returns to Island Federal Arena for the first time in the 2021-22 campaign for a battle with Sacred Heart on Monday night at 6:31 p.m. (GET YOUR TICKETS NOW)

The 10 best romance novels of 2022 - The Washington Post

Image
Romance, more than any other genre, is one that readers come to when they need hope. The genre affirms the belief that anyone — no matter who they are — can find not only love but also a Happily Ever After. In the past couple of years that feeling, that promise, has felt more necessary than ever. For me, this year has been a reminder that the personal is always political, and I've found myself reaching for romances with protagonists who are not only looking for that glorious HEA but also healing, showing up for their communities, being courageous enough to fight for justice and striving to live authentically. 'You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty,' by Akwaeke Emezi Return to menu Feyi's connection to celebrity chef Alim is instant and undeniable. After five years grieving the loss of her husband, Feyi feels ready to live again. But things for our would-be lovers are far from simple. Alim is the father of the man Feyi is dating, and if their feelings ever come out, ...

Bag Of Bones Is Stephen King's Horniest Book [The Losers' Club Podcast] - Bloody Disgusting

Image
Tough times for the Losers. Writer's block is never easy and the Club has decided to nurse their creative woes with a quick cabin trip to Dark Score Lake. (Some locals have been known to call it "Sara Laughs.") Rest assured, this will get ugly. Published in 1998 on the day after the author's 51st birthday, Stephen King 's Bag Of Bones is many things: Gothic ghost story, queasy romance, legal thriller, meditation on grief, and a ghastly reminder that the sins of the father are to be laid upon the children. It's also horny. Really horny. Join Losers Randall Colburn, Mel Kassel, Dan Pfleegor, and Ana Marie Cox as they shack up in Sara Laughs for a sprawling, two-part discussion of the novel's tumultuous publication history, its potent scares, and its protagonist, Mike Noonan, who King describes as "probably as close as you could get to me." Throughout it all, one question perseveres… "Was this King's mid-life crisis book?" F...
