Barclays Center yn Brooklyn
Dydd Sadwrn, Ebrill 16 (8:30 p.m. A/5:30 p.m. PT)
BROOKLYN (Mawrth 17, 2016) – Cyn-bencampwr byd Chris Algieri is excited to cheer on his alma mater, the Stony Brook University Seawolves, as they hit the court for the first men’s basketball NCAA Tournament game in the school’s history.
“Po hynaf gallaf gael, the less I believe in luck, but I want to wish good luck to my alma mater, the Stony Brook Seawolves, in the opening game of the NCAA tournament later heno,” said Algieri.
The Long Island-native graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Health Care Sciences and is currently on the advisory board of the Seawolves United Athletic Department. Yn 2015, he established the “Chris Algieri Champion Lifestyle Scholarship Fund” mewn 2015.
“The program has come such a long way over the past few years,” Algieri continued. “It is an inspiration to see what hard work and determination can do. This is their first ever trip to March Madness and I think they can be the latest ‘Cinderella’ story to come out of the tournament.”
Y 13fed-seeded Seawolves will take on the fourth-seed Kentucky Wildcats in Des Moines, Iowa heno in the first round of the East Regional, with tip-off scheduled for 9:40 p.m. A.
“I know what it’s like to be the underdog,” said Algieri. “I’ve been the underdog numerous times in my life and career and it’s all about digging deep and having the heart of a champion. I know those guys on the Stony Brook team have that championship mettle.”
