Listening to a Stony Brook press conference might lead you to believe that you had stumbled into Arizona’s Zoom by mistake. Words and phrases like “defense” and “our 3-point shooting is not as good as we would like it to be” pop up.
Many of the same strengths and concerns highlighted by Arizona head coach Adia Barnes all season about the Wildcats were echoed in Stony Brook’s Caroline McCombs’ comments about the Seawolves.
“Our defense has always been our identity since I took over as the head coach,” said McCombs, whose team will face Arizona in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Monday.
