Stony Brook Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The first thing you think of when you see what Steve Pikiell has done with the Stony Brook program is this: How long can they keep this guy way out there on Long Island?

He's young. He's energetic. He has produced results. You just have to wonder how long it will be before the former UConn assistant gets a bigger and better job.

But Pikiell, who led the Seawolves to their best America East record (8-8) and went 16-14 for the most wins since 2000-01, signed a contract extension through 2013-14 and is clearly busy with the task at hand.

Sure, he might move on. That's always a danger with young coaches on this level. But for now, he's doing some pretty good things with this program.

And, on paper, the Wolves should be even better this season.
