Is it a Born Winner?

Born Sinner, J. Cole’s second official offering as Jay-z’s protégé and ROC Nation signee aims to show Cole’s true and pure talent. But will this talent be respected and upheld by his peers, and most importantly his fans?

The heavily introspective album begins with a boisterous Sunday morning-like choir singing

“I’m a born sinner, but I’ll die better than that.”

Cole’s very first words uttered are

“It’s much darker this time”

in a very somber voice, showing that he knows it is time to show and prove his talents, as if it wasn’t enough to release his album on the same day as the overhyped “Yeezus”. The album does get pretty dark but Cole ironically boasts his talent while rapping about the rocky journeys of life with lines like

“My pops was club-hopping back when clubbing Rick James was out and all I get is Trinidad James.”

Aside from Cole himself, the only other rapper featured on the album is the newly crowned king of the West Coast, Kendrick Lamar. Though Kendrick doesn’t lend of verse of his own, he adds to the melodic and simple chorus, conveying the message that nothing is forever. The smooth track samples A Tribe Called Quests’ Electric Relaxation by way of Ronnie Foster’s Mystic Brew

Often times, artists are unable to live up to the hype, resulting in a forgettable sophomore LP. However Jermaine’s situation is like many rappers nowadays who are unable mature into the single-selling, radio-playing sing-songy artists that money hungry labels profit off of and yearn for.

Cole fell victim to this system upon release of his debut album “Cole World: The Sideline Story”, when records like “Work Out” and the Trey Songz assisted “Can’t Get Enough” are the singles that the record labels forces out of him, after “Who Dat” didn’t satisfy them. Even though it sold over 218,000 copies and earned him a Grammy Nomination, Cole himself acknowledges the pitfalls of his debut album, with these sentiments shared by Nas.

Nas wasn’t completely satisfied with what J. Cole used as a single, which was the catalyst for Cole to make “Let Nas Down“, dedicated to the Queens rapper. The ode to rapper he looks up too shows his own musical insecurities, as he recounts admiring Nas at his peak

“Used to print out Nas raps and tape ‘em up on my wall/ My n*ggas thought they was words, but it was pictures I saw,”

says Cole over the jazzy saxophone looped beat, which also samples Fela Kuti.

Cole’s eclectic choice of samples don’t stop here, as he uses the  1990′s Outkast classic “The Art of Storytelling Pt. 1.” on the 3rd track of the album, titled “Land Of The Snakes” where Cole offers his perspective on the ever popular topic of more money more problems. As girls become less than trustworthy as his fame grows, so does his expectations of them, even mentioning how a awkward run in with an old college flame from St. John’s University, leads to her calling him a misogynist. Cole boasts this behavior, with

“My little black book thicker than the old testament”

and also delivers one of the most clever couplets when referencing Mr.Cee, one of New York’s most historic DJs being caught with a male prostitute, several times over.

“The same reason they call Mr. Cee ‘the finisher’ 
Forbidden fruit, watch for the Adam’s apple”

Cole redeems himself of this behavior with the help of TLC, on what is sure to be his biggest pop hit yet “Crooked Smile”, an ode to women around the world, as he pleads with women to accept themselves for who they truly are. Though the concept has been seen before and is a bit cheesy, Cole refuses to sacrifice his lyrical ability, with lines like,

” Oh, you a woman? I don’t know how you deal/

With all the pressure to look impressive and go out in heels/I feel for you/

Killing yourself to find a man that’ll kill for you.”

Crooked Smile may be the most joyful and uplifting song on the album, where Cole ironically speaks on someone other than himself.

The most somber and intimate song on the album is “Rich N*ggaz“, who J. Cole expresses his distaste for the aforementioned. The peaceful and simple beat, not made up of much more than a looped harp and the sound of rain bouncing off of nearby windows. Cole makes up for this simple beat, with some of his most touching lyrics on the album. Including the realization of his mother’s dependence on drugs and men, namely his step father, who Cole wishes no harm on, but if he were to die in a plane crash, he would be happy. The artistic imagery he references about Nas, comes full circle as Cole tries to mentally stay “afloat,”

“Try to ride the storm out and crash the boat
Could have drowned but I grabbed the rope”

The ocean references fit perfectly with the sound of water in the background and one can almost imagine J. Cole grasping onto the person that was once him.

That person is a Born Sinner, and the title track ends what seems to be a story of J. Cole reminiscing on the good and unfortunate that has occurred in his life, all in a hope to figure out where to go next, now that he has fame and money he knows that there is more in this Cold World.

The question remains, is Born Sinner a good album? Yes, it is an album filled with quotables, amazing production that shows J. Cole is honing yet another craft, and is stuffed with complex lyrics to keep any hip-hop heads or rapgenius.com connoisseur happy.

Up In Smoke

Smoke filled the air, whether it be from burnouts or one of the few dozen grills that added to the good time. The smell of burnt rubber wasn’t nearly as intoxicating as the barbeque, though the windy day didn’t allow for a choice. As the smoke clears, the reason for it all becomes apparent.

Peering out onto the horizon revealed hundreds of cars, strategically lined up to show off the customizations the owners put blood sweat and tears in.

The break in the cold weather allowed for the annual 1^st of the year Bakerzmeet car club to get together after their passion for cars was put to the test by Mother Nature.

“It’s really a beautiful thing to see, we’re finally back out here doing what we love, for awhile I thought this chapter would be a goner, ”said Mauricio Igner, one of the leaders of the tri-state areas’ Chapter.

Bakerzmeet is a car club created in early 1992, although Igner has loved cars since he was born.

“Cars? Cars is all I know, I honestly have nothing if you take that away from me”, exclaimed Igner, with his new stark white custom Bakerzmeet tee, a deep contrast from his dirty greasy hands even after attempting to wipe them off on the use-to-be white clothe hanging from his pocket.

The first car meet of the year is suppose to take place at the tail end of March, but the weather pushed the date off further and further before the car enthusiasts just couldn’t take it anymore, after being cooped up in the house all winter.

Not even mentioning the six or so meets that were canceled at the end of 2012 due to Hurricane Sandy Aftermath.

The meet-up took place in a mall parking lot in Hoboken, New Jersey, a huge parking lot chosen because the first meet of the year is always the largest, and this year was no different.

No one expected the huge turn out this year, as the sea of high-powered cars seemed to grow larger and larger.

For Steven Karatzias, the owner of a 2003 Lexus IS300, this was his first meet after his friend suggested it to him last summer.

“I’ve got something I’m proud of now. Before this car I had a Lincoln Town Car from ’82,1982 bro, that car first came out in 1981.The mileage counter thingy stopped working on it after 150,000 miles.”, Karatzias explained while leaning on his illegally tinted and newly waxed silver vehicle.

“It’s called an odometer, you idiot!” yelled out one of his friends before bursting out in laughter.

The laughter was rivaled across the parking lot, as if jokes seemingly rolled off of the tongues of the hundreds in attendance.

The results of Hurricane Sandy didn’t seem to dampen their moods today, or at least not as much as it had just a few months ago.

“After [Hurricane] Sandy a lot of us lost touch, not even by choice, just times were tough, you know? What can I say to someone who’s car floated down the block, the same car that was passed down to him from his grandfather, the same car that had beautiful canary yellow leather interior but  now just brown mush,” said Igner while looking at the ground with his arms crossed.

“It was a hard time for us, it may seem selfish to talk about material items  like that, but these cars are our lives man, I work a 9-to-5 so that can I afford to mess around with my car. It’s the only time my son and I don’t argue-when we’re working on the cars together.” said Raymond Cartney, Igners’ right hand man.

Cartney also handles all of the business that goes along with running a car club. Membership is $30 a month; in return all members receive countless car decals, the mouth watering barbeque and the Bakerzmeet t-shirt and hoodie in assorted colors.

For many of the members, it’s a small price to pay to spend a day with people whose passion burns just as deep as theirs.

A short walk around the parking lot will find guys shaking new hands and proudly pointing out the changes they’ve made since the last meet. A lot of the cars may even seem normal or dormant looking, until you pop the hood, revealing an engine that could rival those of Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

When asked when the wondrous afternoon ends, Igner chuckled before shrugging and said “depends what time the cops come, should be soon”

Not long after, the faint sound of sirens could be heard, and the burnouts and donuts ceased as many cars sped off into the distance. As the blaring sound of mufflers multiplied, the cars left nothing behind but thinning smoke and a skid mark covered parking lot.

Review: Money Power & Wallstreet

The PBS series frontline has always released exciting, interesting and most importantly well researched documentaries. They have kept up this uncanny series with the most recent installment correctly named “Money, Power and Wallstreet”. The documentary is a no holds barred tale of all of the events that led up to the Great Recession of 2008-09,how it was temporarily solved, and how Capitol Hill is dealing with the  repercussions of the bailout, an initial solution that is now an even bigger problem.

As one of the millions of Americans that watched the economy fall into shambles just a few short years ago, it is captivating to step back and watch unbiased, topnotch reporting on an event bigger than the people who are suppose to control it. A story of greed, confusion, and unwarranted forgiveness ensues on an event that will influence the country will live in, forever.

The 4-part series begins with an in-depth explanation of how the banks got themselves backed into a corner in the first place. It all started with JP Morgan having a company retreat weekend at a swanky Boca Raton resort during the early 1990s, in which young ambitious employees’ pondered ways to leave their mark on such a lucrative business.

In-between gulping down martinis and meetings in cramped conference rooms, the bright, new faces of the company came up with a solution to a problem that had been around since forever, Risk Management. “I went into the pool fully clothed,” says former JP Morgan Co-Chief Exec Bill Winters. “So did my boss.”

Their quick fix you ask? Credit default swap.

Credit default swap allowed banks to sell risk, so that in the event that a loan could not be payed back in full, the loan dealer will still recoup their investment. It is basically insurance against default because buyer of a CDS might be speculating on the possibility that the third party will indeed default.

I found this section of Part 1 the most interesting because it changed the way banks did business, and helped ignite more human greed than ever. The development if this new found system and its effect on the existing banking system is truly captivating. Financial consultant Satyajit Das stated “We were just moving the risk from one party to another party.”Before this, banks were required to have a certain amount of cash on hand, so that just in case loans defaulted the bank could cover their losses. But even more important to banks, it allowed them to loan more capital instead of keeping it in reserve.

Banks, almost immediately went from having to have capital stashed away, to being able to loan money until their hearts were content. What made it even more lucrative, is that anyone can purchase a Credit Default Swap. The most eager of the JP Morgan employees was Blythe Masters, she also brokered the world first CDS with the worlds largest oil company,Exxon.JP Morgan’s profits immensely increased, and other banks began to take note, and therefore followed suit.

The amount of available credit skyrocketed, and with such a crazy amount of credit being thrown around, predatory lending increased. Banks preyed on people who they knew wouldn’t be able to keep up with mortgage payments, still giving them loans. Banks often convinced homeowners to-be, to sign off on unfair terms and agreements “You could just about drive by a bank and they’d throw a loan paper in your car as you passed by,” says Roy Barnes, Georgia governor. Images of boarded up neighborhoods in Atlanta ended the first hour of the series, on a sour and sad note nonetheless. Scenes and quotes like this are strategically placed for impact even after some hard hitting facts are revealed.

In the second hour, Michael Kirk examines the 2008 bail- out, beginning with the implosion of Bear Stearns & Co. Bear Stearns invested heavily in subprime, ran out of cash and was the first to dig themselves into to deep a hole to recover with no help. There situation was so bad that the company had a Federal Reserve team in their office inspecting the books at the early hour of 1am.

Tim Geithner, the current Secretary of the Treasury was in awe at the situation, and fell to the conclusion that Bear Stearns was “to big to fail”. Geithner quickly got this message to then Secretary of the Treasury, Hank Paulson. The solution was for the Fed to shell out $30 billion to JP Morgan. The dominoes began to fall, and next was Lehman Brothers who were burning a whopping $250 billion a day to just stay afloat. Unlike JP Morgan, Paulson let Lehman brothers fail, a fallout ensued as the stock market plummeted.

 Due to this crisis occurring in an election year (2008), Senator John McCain used it as a chance to gain some votes, albeit by randomly suspending his campaign, volunteering his help in Washington. This proved to be one of the most interesting parts of the documentary, as McCain suggested to President Bush that both candidates be summoned to Washington for their input.

McCain was unaware that Obama had close ties with people about the current economic situation. This is one of the few instances in politics where connections, resourcefulness, preparedness and raw knowledge can be seen in such quick instance. Obama presented a well researched argument, and more importantly, a plan to help the economy get back on its feet. Obama asked McCain what he thought about the situation, who wasn’t nearly as well versed as Obama. McCain could barely keep his hand steady enough to read from his cue cards, which held no real substance anyway. Bush left the meeting, but not before comically whispering to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “You guys are going to miss me.”Tidbits like this add oomph to the entire situation, and was inserted in  the documentary at the perfect time

A bailout amount of $700 billion was passed, and it was time for Obama to put his words into action. After a landslide victory, Obama needed to hit the ground running, as Citigroup was the next to go under. He was faced with choosing his Secretary of Treasure, Larry Summers who called for radical reform or Tim Geithner would didn’t believe in something so dramatic. After choosing Giethner, he decided to do a stress test  to determine the stability of  the economy.

The journalistic integrity can be found here, questioning Obama’s original intentions of bad mouthing the banks, but privately wanted their help. McCain’s wrong doings were initially mentioned due to his unpreparedness, showing a fair and even portrayal of both parties.

Geithner announced this plan to the nation, and it was his first major press conference. Though his public speaking has much improved since then, he came off as nervous and a novice, subsequently the stock market dropped 200 points. However, after the stress test was implemented and plenty of checks and balances occurred, the banks were then authorized to pay back their loans. Geithner was now the hero.

Part 4 of the documentary was a more in-depth look at the Credit Default Swaps, including how they were packaged and who their biggest borrowers were. As expected, one of the biggest victims was Greece. The documentary did a great job explaining all of the intricate details in an easy to understand way, and it was evident that many CDS’s were deceptive. An explanation of CDO’s or Collateralized debt obligations were put in laymen’s terms, and even once you delve  into the details about their value, investor demand, and statistical methods, it became extremely complex, yet somewhat understandable..One of the interesting pieces from this section include that even after the major bailout, nothing seemed to change on Wallstreet. It was also shocking to find out that an entire country (Europe) was cooking its books. Overall the documentary has been able to accurately replicate the chronological events of the Recession and bailout, and even the origins of both.

Occupy Wallstreet was developed by the self proclaimed 99% of America in response the those events, those who believed that banks shouldn’t have been bailed out. The protest was formed around the idea that normal American citizens were treated economically unequal, and that greed and corruption were being overlooked. These issues still exist today, as the government must overcome another looming economical hurdle, the fiscal cliff.

What Goes Up...

The saying “what goes up, must come down” must also apply to one of the most successful companies in the world.

Apple, the Cupertino based tech company has seen mostly a decline in their stock since September, falling from $700 to  just $595.

On the bright side Apple has seen a huge 50% increase in the stock in the last 10 months, a lot higher than the 11%  reported by the S&P 500.

The stock price this past January was $395 a huge difference from the current price of $595.

Though the 10 month difference can be seen as a huge success, others may wonder if the recent downturn may just be a glimpse into the future of Apple.

Major releases like the iPad 4,iPhone 5 and the introduction of the iPad mini had adverse effects on apple stock, as it opened up around $634,yet closed right below $616.

Many suspect it could be the price of the iPad mini in relation to competitors’ similar devices, which offers yet another dose of reality to Apple.

CNBC reporter Henry Blodget states that the gap between Apple and other companies’ technology advancements have become strikingly similar. “Longer-term, increasing competition, maturing markets, and pressure on Apple’s extraordinary profit margin may become bigger concerns. Apple’s competitors have now arguably caught up with the iPhone, or at least gotten close enough that the differences between brands are only important to tech snoots.”

Aside from the obvious technological standpoint its also possible that investors could be emotionally invested in Apple as a company, or at least used to. Even though Apple’s new products are selling immensely, they aren’t selling as immense as anyone had hoped.

A recently released mixed earning report which featured strong iPhone sales and almost-decent iPad sales have also made investors edgy.

The loss of Steve Jobs’ leadership and craftsmanship allows many to believe that many of the products released since his death just don’t have his special touch.

 There has also been a recent shake-up within the high ranks of the company which came as a surprise to all,Scott Forstall and John Browett are leaving Apple. Browett has only been with Apple for nine months. While Forstall was one of Steve Jobs’ favorite employees and has been with Apple since 1997,this is yet another wrench thrown into the technology empire that is Apple.

Though these times may seem testing, for Apple the current price of $525 is nowhere near the 5 year low of just $80 back in November of 2008.

Apple also looks to release an updated version of their highly successful music managing program iTunes, which doesn’t comes without its own woes as it has faced several delays.

Even Giants Fall Below Expectation

Technology tycoon Apple had low expectations for the third quarter which they met, on July 25^th.

The SEC filings released stated that Apples’ profits increased 21% to $8.8 billion or $9.32 a share in the third quarter of 2012, with revenue of $35 billion. An increase from the $28.57 billion revenue and net profit of $7.3 billion recorded for the same time period, last year.

 Even with this 22% increase in revenue, it’s still less than analysts’ expectations.

The net income increased by 20% from the previous years’ 3^rd quarter income of  $7.3billion to $8.8 billion,according to the SEC.

When falling short in other aspects Apple was able to sell a record amount of iPads, an astonishing 17 million units sold, shattering the previous record of 15.43 billion. Revenue jumped from $6 billion in 2011’s third quarter to 9.1 billion this year.

"We're thrilled with record sales of 17 million iPads in the June quarter," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO in the press release. "We've also just updated the entire MacBook line, will release Mountain Lion tomorrow and will be launching iOS 6 this fall. We are also really looking forward to the amazing new products we've got in the pipeline."

On the bright side, the company sold 26.0 million iPhones in the quarter, which was the biggest revenue contributor and represented a 28% unit growth over the year-ago quarter. With this increase, the numbers still fell short of Wall streets’ projected 29 million.

Apple reasoned that this was due to struggling economies in places like Europe, Australia and even North America. This trend was also seen in China, which the CEO attributes to a seasonal lag after the launch of the company’s latest phone, the iPhone 4S.

Mac computers also fell victim to this, as the sale of desktops fell 18%,in revenue, and laptops increased just 3%, with both product lines falling below the conjunctive estimate of $4.1billion in sales.

The world’s most popular music player, otherwise known as the iPod, also saw a decrease in sales by nearly 10%,falling from $1.3 billion to just $1 billion

After this supposed forgettable quarter, the company looks ahead to a bright future in the 4^th quarter and beyond, hoping to improve revenue and profit.

"We're continuing to invest in the growth of our business and are pleased to be declaring a dividend of $2.65 per share today," stated Peter Oppenheimer, the CFO of Apple. "Looking ahead to the fourth fiscal quarter, we expect revenue of about $34 billion and diluted earnings per share of about $7.65."

Review: Bully

Prior to seeing the movie “Bully”, I’d read countless reviews about just how impactful it was, yet I was still skeptic. However, after finally seeing the movie I am able to understand what everyone was talking about. I still feel as if the credit should not be giving to the movie maker but to Alex Ja’maya and especially Kelby.

The movies tag line “Be a hero. Take a stand” doesn’t really seem to apply much, if at all. But perhaps that is the point of the movie. The movie focuses mainly on a young kid named Alex who is constantly seen being punched and pushed throughout the school day. The worst of the torture isn’t even seen until the bus ride home. The other kids yell the f-bomb more times than I could even count and its truly disheartening. I, myself couldn’t even fathom the kids I hung around with at that age, acting like that. Seeing Alex stabbed with pencils and shoved into the bus seats made me almost mad at the fact that I was unable to help him. At one point it even seems as if the bus driver sees what’s going on, but cracks a minor smirk and keeps driving. Other adults besides the bus driver, like the teachers or administrators didn’t seem to care much ether. The scary part is the fact that they knew, but had attitude like “boys will be boys” or didn’t mind that the kid was getting beaten up because he was the teacher’s pet. To an extent these notions make perfect sense, but not when you know the kid already has low self esteem, and is nowhere near able to defend himself. The scene where they made the kids shake hands seemed almost staged, to get the kids’ problems out of their hair.

I also kind of found it odd how the film maker focused on Alex nearly the whole time. What I found the most heart breaking was seeing Ja’maya in jail, for pulling out a gun while aboard a school bus. Sure, what she did is wrong, but cant adults see that it was purely a cry for help? All she needed was someone to talk to, and be left alone by the kids on the bus. These kids aren’t being heard, and often resort to outlandish things, all in hopes of just getting some attention

Kelby was the most inspiring story due to her attitude and supportive parents. Kelby should be somewhat of a poster child, for kids who are being bullied. Her strong personality is key if you are constantly being put down day after day in school .Her outlook on life was more defined than people older than me. But is also bothers me that hers sexualities influence on how people treated her may have been the reason she is so tough. If this is the case, than I most certainly feel bad for her because she was unable to live the life of a kid, which is above all else, care free.

The footage that the film maker was able to capture was great, but in no way speaks to his talent. The film being raw did help, but it could have been a bit more polished. For instance, the film’s title should have played a part. I would have found in interesting of the film maker was able to interview the bullies behind all of this sadness, and what makes them treat their peers so badly. But I understand with all these new laws about confidentiality, there are a lot of stipulations. This also holds true for the teacher, we are in the age of lawsuits, and God forbid a teacher try to break up a fight, s/he will be sued for sexually harassment.

Overall the film was very raw and showed just how much kids have to go through these days, just because they are different from everyone else, a real shame. The film did what it was suppose to, in that it brought awareness to widespread and detrimental bullying is. Hopefully the next step is that appropriate actions will be taken in educating everyone on bully prevention.

Lacrosse: St.John's V Syracuse

Back and forth, back and forth, that’s what the lacrosse game St. John’s played against Syracuse was like.

The red storm went on to play a great game against the No.6 ranked Syracuse Lacrosse who has 13 consecutive Big East victories, but came up short, losing 9-8 this Saturday.

The game started off slow, but the tone was set early by Colin Keegan, who scored the first goal head on with several Orange men in his way, a repeat of the previous weeks Siena game.

“It was a tough shot”, Keegan admitted, “but it went in, not sure if it set the tone of the game though”

This was his 5th goal of the season, which he made with only 3 seconds left in the man-up,due to a key turnover which he took advantage of.

Syracuse wouldn’t take this in stride, as Kevin Drew and Derek Maltz answered back, with 1 goal for the former, and 2 by the latter, all scored with less than 4 minutes remaining in the 1st period. Even after a key save and stellar defense by senior Red Stormer Harrison Freid,  the Orange got into a groove.

“Our defense was okay, coulda been better though, a lot of moments were up in the air “said Harrison Freid ,who played the best game of his St.John’s career so far with 4 ground balls.

The mixed crowd of fans erupted in both anger and pride in reaction to Maltz,scoring his 8th and 9th goal of the season.

This wasn’t before Terrence Leach made his first goal less than a minute into the 2nd period. Harry Kutner took a wild shot as Syracuse played tough defense, Leach was able to skillfully recover it,and  chuck it in for the easy point as the Orange goalie dove for the save.

Leach shared a hat trick with team mate Cernuto, who scored his first goal with around 8 minutes left in the 2nd period.

After a fast break down field, Kieran Mcardle jetted to the right of the field before he quickly tossed the ball to Cernuto, coming straight down the middle. The ball didn’t stay in his possession for more than a second before he threw it so hard he lost his balance.

“That was a crazy moment, I was going so fast, it was kind of like an automatic reaction,just shoot” Cernuto said, who was a catalyst in the 2nd half and only missed 1 shot.

Cernuto scored his 7th goal of the season seconds later due to another great assist, by Jordan Rothman who won the  face-off. The 1st half ended with momentum being in the Red Storms’ favor with a 1 point lead, but the 2nd half was an all out battle.

“The second half  was really intense, but I think we did okay under pressure”,said Leach who made 3 of his 7 attempted shots.

Leach would soon get another great assist, before Syracuse exploded.

It began with Tim Desko and DerekMaltz of the Orange burying in several goals within a few minutes, putting them up 8-6,but the Red storm tried their hardest to fight back.

“A lot was going through my mind. It was a really tough game man, really high energy , a lot of  work in the back half”, said Henry Kutner,who was only 20% from the field.

Harry Kutner would answer back with a man up goal, and impressive shot by Cernuto would follow, as he flew from behind the net ,and shot the ball without a clear look in sight right through the goalies legs, to tie the game at 8.

The Orange responded by scoring their winning goal with less than 2 minutes left, after Red storm goalie Jeff Lowman would fumble an easy recovery.

“ I knew coming in that this would be a tough one,’cuse is good, Said Jeff Lowman, who tied his season high of 15 saves, ”but we lost no matter how you bill it”

The  Red Storm is now (0-1) in the big east, and go on to face Stony Brook this Tuesday.
