STONY BROOK, N.Y. (AP) Tyrell Sturdivant's layup with less than a second to play capped a 21-0 run that rallied Stony Brook to a 72-70 win over Albany on Sunday.
Lucas Woodhouse dribbled the ball near midcourt after a timeout with 14.9 seconds to play, penetrated toward the left corner before feeding Sturdivant cutting down the lane for a left-handed layup with .6-seconds left.
Albany led 37-24 at the half and 70-51 on Mike Rowley's layup with 5:55 to go. Sturdivant started the comeback with two free throws followed by Bryan Sekunda's 3.
Woodhouse scored 10 straight on free throws and two 3-pointers with one empty possession before Sturdivant's putback made it 70-68. Roland Nyama's free throws tied it with 1:11 to play.
There were three turnovers before the final play, giving the Great Danes eight in the final five minutes to go with two misses - on the same possession - and a missed free throw.
Stony Brook (7-8, 2-0 American East) is 5-4 in nine games decided in the final minute. Woodhouse finished with 21 points, Nyama 15 and Sturdivant 8 with 10 rebounds.
