Men’s Basketball edged by UNCW at home

The Stony Brook men's basketball team fell in a battle against the UNCW Seahawks on Jan. 21 at Island Federal Arena. The Seawolves battled throughout a tough back-and-forth first half, in which they found themselves down 22-21 at the break.

Stony Brook had three players score in the first half. Senior guard Tyler Stephenson-Moore finished the first frame with eight points, graduate center Keenan Fitzmorris had seven, and freshman guard Toby Onyekonwu scored six points. In the early stages of the game, graduate forward Frankie Policelli passed the ball across the court to Fitzmorris, who drained his fifth three pointer of the season.

Graduate forward Frankie Policelli started the second half with his first bucket of the game, but UNCW shifted the momentum the rest of the way.

Despite falling behind by 11 points in the second half, Stony Brook was able to cut it back to a five-point deficit late in the game. UNCW outlasted the Seawolves' comeback.

The team will hit the road for a twogame road trip in the state of Virginia, starting at William & Mary on Jan. 26. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. and the game will be broadcast live on FloHoops.
