America East championship
March 12 at USB Sports Complex in Stony Brook, NY
ESPN
Stony Brook had never been to the NCAA Tournament and it looked like that drought would continue on Saturday morning.
Vermont led 48-33 about five minutes into the second half and you could hear a seawolf drop onto a catamount.
But Jameel Warney was absolutely fantastic. The senior scored 43 points - 23 of which came over the final 15 minutes - on 18-of-22 shooting, and sent the Seawolves to the NCAAs for the first time in school history.
I don't know much about translating college size into NBA size, but Warney is 6-8, 260, so small forward? He's already got an NBA post game that continues to develop and is also an excellent defender (America East DPOY). Before he graduates to the pros, though, Worley certainly gives the new America East champions (maybe a 14-seed?) a shot at a first-round upset.
