Akwasi Yeboah Leads Stony Brook Past South Carolina

By Bradley Gains on November 10, 2018

Akwasi Yeboah posted a double-double to lead Stony Brook to an impressive win over South Carolina.

The redshirt junior finished with 24 points and 11 rebounds in the 81-83 road triumph, whilst hitting 5 of 10 from 3-point range.

Yeboah scored nine early points in a pivotal run in the second half to help his side set the platform for victory.

“They played hard. We played harder,” said Yeboah, via PostandCourier.

In the season opener, Yeboah had 12 points – including a basket to force overtime with 0.01 left of regulation – along with eight rebounds as the Seawolves eventually claimed a 77-74 victory over George Washington.

Stony Brook continue the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament next week when they face Holy Cross followed by the winner of Siena or Norfolk State.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
