ALBANY - Stony Brook provided on the court what UAlbany has been unable to prove the past three games -- they are an elite team.

The Seawolves remained in first place and look to be the best team in the conference as we get closer to the postseason tournament.

The Great Danes (5-4, 16-7) are looking more like the team of the past few seasons, where they beat the teams they should and lose to the teams ahead of them.

In one week, UAlbany has fallen from first place in the America East Conference to fifth.

Peter Hooley led the way with 17 points, but the real story was Mike Black coming up scoreless for the first time since his freshman season. Black hasn't been held without a point since Dec. 8, 2009, when he played just three minutes in a victory at Penn.

Point guard Anthony Jackson led Stony Brook with 14 points, while freshman Jameel Warney finished with a double-double (10 pts. & 10 reb.).
