Stony Brook Seawolves

The Stony Brook Seawolves play home games at Island FCU Arena on Long Island, a program whose 2016 breakthrough remains a defining moment in Long Island sports history. Behind star Jameel Warney, Stony Brook delivered the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament berth with a thrilling conference championship comeback. The Seawolves have built a steady winning culture in America East and now compete in the Coastal Athletic Association. Stony Brook represents one of college basketball's feel-good mid-major stories of the 2010s.

Stony Brook basketball began in 1960 and moved up to Division I in 1999. The program's signature moment came in 2016, when Jameel Warney scored 43 points in a comeback win over Vermont to capture the America East tournament title and send Stony Brook to its first-ever NCAA Tournament, where the Seawolves fell to Kentucky. Stony Brook has won four regular-season conference championships and reached its first NIT in 2010, building steady momentum before its move to the CAA.
