Prediction
This is a tough matchup to call, but I think Stony Brook has a slight edge. The Seawolves are playing with a lot of confidence right now, and they have a deep bench that can give them a lot of different looks. Marquette is a talented team, but they will need to be able to handle Stony Brook's pressure if they want to win this game.
