The Spartans used their outstanding point of attack perimeter defense to stifle the Seawolves, just like they have done since the Baylor game. The Stony Brook starting backcourt shot a combined 8-for-31 from the field and 4-for-17 from three-point range.

Akins led the way with tremendous ball pressure all night which led to two steals a piece for Walker and Hoggard. As a result, that led to easy transition dunks for the Spartans.
