It wasn’t quite the performance Friar fans were hoping for after their loss to UMass eight days ago, but the Friars were still able to escape the Dunk with a victory, coming back from an 11-point deficit to squeak by Stony Brook, 62-60. While hardly a good win on paper, PC overcame yet another injury, this one to senior PG and leader Kyron Cartwright, joining Alpha Diallo and Maliek White on the sidelines.
Leading the way for the Friars was freshman big man Nate Watson. In his first career start he put up a career-high 15 points, going 7 for 11 from the floor.
