BOSTON (AP)—Corey Lowe scored seven of his game-high 33 points in the fourth overtime Monday, lifting Boston University to a wild 99-97 victory over Stony Brook.

 

Lowe was scoreless in the first half, but scored 21 points during the four overtime periods to also finish with eight rebounds and seven assists.

 

John Holland, who earlier in the day won his second straight conference Player of the Week award, played the entire 60 minutes, scoring 29 points and grabbed seven rebounds for BU (8-9, 3-2 America East Conference).

 

Chris Martin, also scoreless in the first half, scored a career-high 26 points, Bryan Dougher had 18 and Tommy Brenton added 15 and 17 rebounds for the Seawolves (9-9, 1-4).

 

Stony Brook’s Muhammad El-Amin hit a 3-pointer at the regulation buzzer tie the game at 56-56 and force overtime. BU went on to outscore the visitors, 43-41, in the four overtime periods.

Yeh...we got Brook on Friday, play like we played against Maine and they'll hang an L on us. I suspect this will be a very tough week in practice after the lack of effort against Maine.

 

This isn't the same Brook that could be counted on for two W's

We need to come out ready to play for this game. Every game for that matter

... and look who is back on top in the America East, tied for first with Bingo: UVM at 3-2. UVM beat up on UMBC today for UVM's third conference victory. With a win over SB, we would move into a tie for first and be in first place by virtue of having beaten UVM and Bingo already (assuming UVM and Bingo don't pick up any more wins before the SB game).

If I'm not mistaken, UA is actually in second place as we hold a tie braker over BUMA and UVM. There are three teams with a record of 3-2 us and the two teams previously mentioned who we've beaten.

Points well made.........no league wins are "givens" this season. This is the new and improved America East. More parity than ever before. Also meaning any team can win it all. Great we have the tournament at our place.
