UAlbany defeated St. Francis 66-53 today at the SEFCU Arena and two hours later hopped on a plane to fly to Durham to prepare for Monday's nationally televised game against Duke.

Will Brown made two changes to the starting lineup before today's game against the Terriers, bringing in sophomore center Brett Gifford and freshman guard Josh Martin into the starting lineup. The real star however, was freshman Tim Ambrose, who lit a spark with his energy and scored a career-high 17 points.

This will certainly be a test for the Great Danes (5-4), especially since they aren't playing their best basketball right now.

You can catch the game on ESPN2 at 7 p.m.

Duke (9-0) is ranked No. 6 in the latest AP poll, so it will be the second highest opponent UAlbany has ever faced after facing second-ranked UCONN in the 2006 NCAA Tournament first round in Philadelphia.

The players on the court aren't the only competition for the Great Danes. They will also be competing with the Cameron Crazies and a packed Cameron Indoor Stadium that has seen 263 consecutive sellouts, dating back to 1990 and seen below.
