Yes, it was another tough loss for Stony Brook at Lehigh, but there is reason for hope. Ricky Lucas seems to have found his stroke. He scored 19 against Dartmouth and 21 against Lehigh. Emanuel Neto grabbed 11 rebounds. Like Hofstra, Stony Brook has been a bit too reliant on Lucas. If he doesn't score, Stony Brook doesn't win. That can't be the case if the Seawolves plan on making any noise when their America East schedule begins. Someone else has to step up. Mitch Beaufoed and Michael Tyree, who's shown some potential, are logical candidates. Nick Carter and Demetrius Young have also shown some ability to score.
Whatever happens, one of the aforementioned needs to start supporting Lucas on a regular basis. It would be nice if Neto, who has a great tough, could get some looks, too. Next up for the Seawolves is a home game against NJIT on Monday. Stony Brook narrowly escaped with a win at NJIT season. It won't be any easier this year, but the Seawolves should have the upper hand.
