.@StonyBrookMBB last played for a conference championship on March 12, 2016, when Jameel Warney put the #Seawolves on his back in the second half to win the America East. Eight years to the day, Stony Brook will play for a #CAAHoops title after a 63-59 upset of Hofstra.
Stony Brook upsets Hofstra in CAA semi, one win away from the NCAA Tournament. This is everything Stony Brook has been dreaming about since it made the jump to DI.
Lil' ol' Stony Brook, former commuter school that once upon a time didn't offer scholarships as a Division II program, will play for the CAA auto bid tomorrow night. https://t.co/aBOU5maUOc

Heartbreaker for BU in the Patriot League semis after a late-season surge. Terriers led by 21 in the first half before losing in OT, 84-79, to Lehigh. Anthony Morales with 27 for BU and Cam Gillus 30 for Lehigh. Somerville's Tyler Whitney-Sidney had 21 for the Mountain Hawks.

Colgate inched ever closer to another Patriot League title and NCAAT appearance Sunday. But the Raiders are doing it with young, new guys to supplement their experience. What happened in Hamilton during a tight Colgate win over Bucknell. https://t.co/60jEUjQI5c
Wow. After trailing by as many as 21, Lehigh has fought back to take the lead at The Roof. Mountain Hawks lead Boston University by two with 5:17 remaining, 61-59. CBS Sports Network.
COMEBACK COMPLETE. @ColgateMBB advances to the Championship ๐ช https://t.co/VRsS9uzxzw
Colgate advances to the Patriot League championship! https://t.co/HquuUFBXoV
Colgate comes back to beat Bucknell, escapes with a three-point win. Matt Langel and the Raiders are headed to their SEVENTH straight conference championship game. Eyeing their fourth straight NCAA tournament appearance.
Interesting score in the Patriot League: No. 5 Bucknell leads No. 1 Colgate, 32-23, at halftime. Colgate has a knack for winning these types of games, but something to monitor regardless. If Bucknell wins, and No. 2 BU beats No. 6 Lehigh, the Terriers would host the title game.
